The Visionaries Behind the Athlete Legacy Circle

The Athlete Legacy Circle started with a simple but powerful idea: athletes deserve more than just applause when the game ends—they deserve a path forward. A few of us—former players, mentors, and advisors—started talking about the real challenges athletes face once their careers shift. We saw a gap between what athletes give and what they get back in long-term support. So we decided to build something better. What began as a small circle of trust has grown into a full platform focused on wealth, legacy, and leadership. We’re here to help athletes think bigger, build stronger, and leave a lasting mark—not just in the game, but in life.
