Stronger together.


Join our Connection Group

  • A community of athletes who have experienced a medically-forced exit from sport, led by former athletes who personally experienced a medical retirement*

  • Meets virtually, once a month, to support one another through the transition following medical retirement and to discuss issues relevant to medical exit from sport

  • Limited to sidelined athletes age 16-25
