Discover. Translate. Explore. Build. Plan. Launch.
NEXT PLAY guides you through a clear progression so you always know where you are, what you’ve completed, what to do next and why it matters.
The NEXT PLAY progression
Each step maps to a week of the program and builds on the one before.
Discover who you are
Start with the NEXT PLAY Transition Assessment — a coaching and self-reflection tool — and Week 1 exercises that help you name what you’re proud of, what people count on you for, and who you want to become.
Translate your athletic skills
Build a skills inventory from your athletic career and translate each one into professional language. “Led defense” becomes “communicated responsibilities, organized teammates and adjusted strategy under pressure.”
Explore your future
Explore 13 career categories — what the work involves, typical roles, which athletic skills transfer, questions to ask and next steps. Save the directions you want to research and run small career experiments.
Build your professional identity
Write your “tell me about yourself,” frame your athletic experience, and prepare for networking and interviews so you walk into every room with a clear, confident story.
Build your life
Your schedule used to be built for you. Design a weekly routine, set goals across every part of life, and create the structure that keeps you moving forward.
Create your Next Play
Set career, financial, personal, community and learning goals, then map your first 30 days, first 90 days, months 4–6 and months 7–12 — with goals you track every week.
