Empowering Athletes for Life Beyond Sports

The cornerstone of Shakeout is diversity, equity, and inclusion. We are a nonprofit organization focused on educating and connecting current and former athletes to tools and resources for personal and professional development. We motivate, assist, and provide athletes a platform to enable success as they prepare for life after sports. The success of these athletes is rooted in their accessibility to financial support, career opportunities, and a supportive community.

The Shakeout Endowment lies at the heart of our commitment, dedicating millions to support Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and alleviate student debt for athletes.

You can make a big difference in someone’s life.

Empowering Athletes: Athletes Unite Conference!

Our Athletes Unite Conference brings together athletes from across the country, offering guidance on brand monetization, career transitions, and mental health resources. Together, we’re building a brighter, more inclusive future for athletes everywhere.

CONSULTING SERVICES

Our Shakeout instructors have navigated the transition from competitive athletics to successful careers, working in top tech companies and for NBA franchises. The lessons they have learned and the network they have built put them in a perfect position to connect corporations to top tier athlete candidates which will assist with the diversity and inclusion initiative in the workforce.

WORKSHOPS

There’s no substitute for meeting like-minded people and working face-to-face with your fellow athletes. Shakeout Workshops provide athletes an opportunity to learn from our Shakeout instructors, their peers, and themselves as they prepare for Life After Sports. Nobody shares the same world view and everyone’s interpretations can be drastically different. Fellow workshop attendees may offer a startling unique view that spark everyone’s growth and development.

Our Mission

At Shakeout, We are dedicated to fostering diversity, equity, and inclusion within the realm of athletics. Our nonprofit organization is committed to empowering current and former athletes through comprehensive education and meaningful connections. We strive to equip athletes with the tools and resources necessary for their personal and professional development, enabling them to thrive beyond the field or court. Our mission is to motivate, assist, and provide a platform that cultivates success, ensuring that athletes are well-prepared for the journey ahead.
