🌟 ATHLETE RETIREMENT COACHING

Support for athletes navigating life after sport - identity, emotion, structure, purpose, and confidence.

When an athlete’s career ends — by injury, burnout, graduation, cuts, or life — the transition is emotionally overwhelming.
They lose their identity, structure, routine, dopamine, teammates, confidence, and sense of belonging overnight.

Most families don’t know how to help.
But you do — because you lived it.

CarpeDiem Academics offers specialized coaching for retired athletes, integrating:

NLP-based mindset work

Purpose discovery

Emotional regulation for ADHD brains

Routine + structure design

Confidence & self-worth support

Identity rebuilding

Career/academic direction

This is a soft place for athletes to land — and rise again.

Why is Academic Success Coaching Important?

Because kids need more than just a good test score. They need academic strategies they can use beyond high school success. We blend academic success, confidence, and recruiting coaching all in one place to make college dreams a success. Academic Success Coaching is high-performance academic coaching designed to support your teen in managing school, life, and sport - without you having to be the middleman and in charge. Think of us as academic consultants who will take over your child's COMPLETE academic course load and teach them how to succeed in school, along with providing essential life coaching to succeed in sport and life beyond.

Who are our Academic Coaches?

Our Academic Success Coaches are carefully selected former NCAA student-athletes who not only excelled in school, but get what it takes to perform under pressure. Most are also experienced coaches or mentors who know how to build trust and motivate without micromanaging. The first step in the application process is to book a success session below.

We bring accountability, structure, mentorship, and a future they are proud of pursuing to your student-athlete. What we offer is priceless.

Remember, we are NOT…

A conventional tutoring center where your child only gets academic support

A burden on you to manage another academic calendar and accountability

Testimonials

Charlotte

CDA Parent

Before CDA, I felt like I was the only one holding everything together—late-night homework checks, emails to teachers, constant reminders. Now my son has a coach who understands his schedule and keeps him accountable. His grades are up and I finally get to be ‘just mom’ again.

Nathan

CDA Student

I was drowning in AP classes and soccer tournaments. The weekly planning sessions gave me structure, and the stress tools helped me balance everything without breaking down (like I used to). I went from C’s to A’s in 1 month!

Paisley

CDA Parent

What makes CDA different is that they get student-athletes. Our coach knew exactly how to work around game travel and heavy practice weeks, because they have been through it. They sincerely want to give back to younger kids like a big brother/sister. Yes my son’s GPA improved, but the biggest change is his confidence and independence.

Ryan

CDA Parent

We tried tutoring before, but it never stuck. Academic Success Coaching is not tutoring—it’s strategy and mentorship. My daughter has learned how to plan, advocate with teachers, and manage test anxiety. This completely changed the trajectory of her future.

Audrey

CDA Student

I can’t put a price on actually how much my CDA coach did for me. Knowing that someone else was tracking grades, teaching time management, and keeping me accountable, lifted a huge weight off just me managing everything. I started feeling confident again in high school!
