Athletes and retired athletes face challenges transitioning from their professional sports careers to the next phase of their lives. They need a space to connect with like-minded individuals, look for job opportunities, and find professional guidance, mentorship, etc. Traditional social networks do not cater specifically to this niche, making it difficult for athletes to leverage their skills, build connections, and manage their professional brands.
