Empowering Current and Former Professional Athletes and Top Executives to Redefine Life Beyond Sports and Business
What Happens When the Game or Career Ends?
It’s a question every athlete and executive faces at some point: What’s next? After dedicating years—or even decades—to excelling in a highly focused career, the idea of transitioning into something new can feel overwhelming. Who are you without the title, the crowd, or the accolades?
At Executive Athletes International (EAI), we believe your next chapter can be your most meaningful yet. Whether you’re a current athlete, stepping off the field, or an executive leaving the boardroom, our mission is to help you transform your unique skills into a purpose-driven career that builds legacy and impact.
Our Vision: Turning Challenges Into Opportunities
Every story begins with a challenge. For many athletes and executives, the transition out of a high-powered career brings uncertainty and fear. It’s not just about what you’re leaving behind; it’s about what lies ahead.
That’s where EAI comes in. We were founded with a simple yet powerful purpose: to bridge the gap between where you’ve been and where you want to go.
“Dreams are only dreams until we take the actions to ignite them!” – Bill Schuffenhuaer, EAI CSO, 3 x Olympian & Olympic Silver Medalist Team USA, 2- Time Hall of Fame & Lifetime Achievement Award

Don’t just take our word for it. The GOAT, Tom Brady, has a few words to share about Taking Action, Hard-Work, Discipline, and Resilience.
Why EAI Was Created
We’ve seen it too often: Athletes and executives who excelled at the top of their game suddenly find themselves at a crossroads. They feel:
- Lost: Who am I without my title or career?
- Unsure: How do I start something new when I’ve been so focused on one thing?
- Overwhelmed: Where do I even begin?
“When it’s over, it’s really a loss of identity…The worst thing you can do is not extend yourself beyond your sport.” – Karen Gallagher, Sr. Postdoctoral Research Scholar at Global Sport Institute.
These challenges are real, but they’re not insurmountable. EAI was created to guide you through this transformation, providing clarity, support, and a community to help you thrive.
