Run For The Soul

Hi! I'm Erika. Want to join me in making a difference?

As a Performance Coach (& current endurance athlete and former water polo player at Purdue University) who works with athletes to live a full spectrum life, I have seen firsthand how difficult it can be when an athlete has to walk away from competition at the level they are trained for and/or dreaming about. Many athletes who have worked tirelessly for many years aren't able to continue on with their sporting career for various reasons. They aren't selected, they are injured, they can't afford to continue... These athletes can face challenges including loss of identity, loss of purpose, financial hardship, difficulty with career prospects, loss of social network, etc.

Im honored to be a Transition Coach for Athletes Soul and I'm raising money to benefit Athletes Soul Inc.

Our goal with Athletes Soul is to support athletes and make their transition to the next chapter easier.

The great thing is that any donation will help make an impact! My goal is to raise $1,500. What's exciting is that 100% of the funds raised go to this program.

Last year, we were able to support 3 athletes for six months and we hope to do better this year.

Thanks in advance for contributing to this event and cause that means so much to me!

Warmly,

Erika

Run For The Soul is an annual virtual athletic fundraiser. For a week, Athletes Soul and its supporters raise funds to support retiring athletes. 100% of the funds raised help provide individual transition coaching to retiring athletes and recently retired athletes for up to 6 months. During this time, the athlete

works one-on-one with a professional coach who is also a former athlete. The athlete receives 12 coaching sessions, weekly assignments and communication from the coach. In addition, the athlete has access to all Athletes Soul resources and its community of former athletes.

More information about Athletes Soul Inc.: Athletes Soul is a non-profit organization founded by athletes and former athletes. Our mission is to support retiring athletes as they transition away from sports and raise awareness about the challenges of athletic retirement. We offer educational resources, individual transition and career coaching and networking/internship opportunities to support athletes before, during and after their athletic retirement.○ For more information about this event, you can visit our website at www.athletessoul.org/run-for-the-soul
