May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and at Free Agent, we believe prioritizing your mental well-being is the most critical move you can make after your career ends.
Our mission is to ensure no athlete navigates this season of their life alone.
Almost 50% of retired athletes experience mental health issues after they retire.
Athletes are trained to push through pain, stay locked in, and “be tough.”
But what happens when the hardest part isn’t physical?
Retirement is HARD.
When the structure of a season disappears, it’s natural to feel lost. If you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, or burnout in that transition into retirement, it doesn’t mean you’re weak. It means you’re human.
If you, or someone you know is struggling, you’re not alone, and you don’t have to carry it by yourself.
