Your Post-Uniform Career Starts here
TURN THE SKILLS, DISCIPLINE, AND DRIVE THAT SHAPED YOU AS AN ATHLETE OR VETERAN INTO AN IMPACTFUL CAREER
WHY YOU?
THE PERFECT CHARACTERISTICS FOR business
RESILIENCE
You have the capacity to recover quickly from difficulties – to withstand adversity and bounce back from those difficulties. You can’t achieve success in sports or service without failure first, athletes and vets understand this inherently.
COMPETITIVENESS
WORK ETHIC
It takes long hours, consistent practice, and incredible discipline to master your craft. You are what you do – not what you say. Athletes and vets have been putting their words into practice for years, something that pays off greatly in a business career.
COACHABILITY
Being confident enough to perform, yet humble enough to take feedback and use it to get better, is a key indicator of success. Business is a team sport that requires the ability to work on a team of differing personalities towards a common goal.
LEADERSHIP
Knowing how to inspire and guide a team is essential. Former athletes and veterans lead by example, make decisions under pressure, and motivate diverse groups to achieve challenging goals.
