Athletic Transition · Pilot Cohort

From the locker room to the next chapter.

Marques retired from the NFL, lost everything, and rebuilt from a janitor's closet to seven figures. This pilot cohort is for athletes facing the same crossroads — and refusing to lose the second half.

Inside the pilot

Six months. No charge. Built around you.

01
Identity rebuild
The hardest part of leaving sport isn't the income — it's the question "who am I now?" We work this first.
02
Skill-stack mapping
The traits that made you elite (discipline, resilience, coaching) translate to specific careers. We map yours.
03
Marques's full network
Direct intros to founders, executives, and coaches who hire athletes. Not a job board — actual humans.
04
Monthly group calls
Six 90-minute calls with the cohort. Honest. No fluff. Real plans, real accountability.
05
1:1 coaching with Marques
Two private sessions during the program. Your specific situation, not a curriculum.
06
Lifetime alumni network
Once you're in, you're family. Other transitioned athletes you can call any time, forever.
Why Marques

He's been where you are.

Marques was an NFL offensive lineman with the Tennessee Titans, Baltimore Ravens, and Oakland Raiders. When his career ended, he didn't have a fallback. He started a construction company and ran it $2M into debt.

He took a job as a janitor at 4am to feed his family. From there he rebuilt — into a top-0.5% podcaster, five-time bestselling author, and a sought-after keynote on stages with Fortune 500 CEOs.

He knows the cliff. He knows the climb back. And he built this pilot for the athletes who can't afford to lose the second half.
