Pivot
Workshop for Retiring/Retired Athletes
November
14-15 in Colorado Springs, Colo.
ACE is
hosting a Pivot Workshop from November 14-15 for retiring and retired
athletes looking for their next steps. Athletes have found it very
useful to discuss issues (personal, work, school, etc.) and receive
resources to help them make that difficult transition out of sport. All
travel and lodging accommodations will be provided if you are available
and would like to attend. Learn more about ACE's Pivot
Workshop.
