About After We Play

Who We Are

After We Play is dedicated to supporting athletes through every stage of their journey. From the pressures of competition and performance to questions of identity, purpose, and mental wellness, we help athletes build the skills they need to thrive both in sports and in life.

We exist to fill that gap by providing programs, tools, and a supportive community that empower athletes to rediscover their purpose, rebuild confidence, and thrive well beyond the scoreboard.

Our Mission

To help athletes compete with freedom and confidence and carry that same freedom and confidence into every chapter that follows. We believe that leaving the game isn't the end — it's the start of a lifelong journey of growth, impact, and purpose.

Our Vision

A world where every athlete transitions from sport into life with resilience, identity, and a renewed drive to succeed — in their careers, families, and communities.

A former successful collegiate athlete and longtime entrepreneur, Scott brings firsthand experience from both competitive sports and business leadership. His own post-sports transition inspired him to launch After We Play, transforming personal challenges into a platform that now serves athletes across the world.

His work is rooted in strong family values and timeless life principles, with a deep belief that athletic success and personal growth are inseparable. As Managing Director, Scott works closely with universities, youth sports organizations, and professional leagues to deliver programs that protect athlete wellbeing, foster leadership, and prepare players for lifelong success.

Dr. Lori Freeman Chief Clinical Director
Dr. Lori S. Freeman

Trained and licensed as a clinical psychologist with specialized expertise on the unique demands of being a competitor and performer, Dr. Freeman works with athletes to maximize their performance and overall well-being. In her private practice in Charlottesville, VA, she focuses on mood and anxiety disorders, eating disorders, body image concerns, trauma and PTSD, and relationship issues — using interventions that are empirically supported and fit best for each client.

Dr. Freeman earned her B.S. from Northwestern University where she was a varsity student-athlete and captain of the Women's Swimming and Diving program. She completed her master's and doctorate in Clinical Psychology with a specialization in Sport-Performance Psychology from La Salle University in Philadelphia, and has provided services to student-athletes across the Big 12, SEC, and Big 10 conferences.

The Huddle

The Huddle

Eight-Component Digital Platform & Community

An integrated digital platform and mobile app where athletes learn, connect, and grow together. Eight purpose-built components designed to support the full athlete experience — on the field, in the locker room, and in every chapter that follows.

01
Inner Circle
The only global peer support community dedicated solely to the athlete. A private, moderated space where athletes connect, share, and support one another through the real experiences of competitive sport.
02
First Whistle
Structured conversations anchored in the curriculum — helping athletes process, reflect, and apply what they're learning in real time.
03
Athletes Speak
Real experiences from athletes at every level — building perspective, reducing isolation, and showing that "The Invisible Game™" is universal.
04
Resource Library
A curated collection of videos, articles, tools, and research — organized by topic and accessible whenever athletes need support.
05
Still Point
Daily mental fitness programming — breathwork, meditation, and mindfulness — with athlete-chosen experiences: Settle, Activate, Lock In, Let It Go, and Power Down.
06
Training Table
Nutrition tips and recovery content built for athlete performance — practical guidance for fueling the body alongside the work being done on the mind.
07
The Drive Home
Drive Home is the parent facing experience inside After We Play, giving families the tools and language to support their athlete without adding pressure. It meets parents where they are, not just as a supporter on the sideline but as someone navigating their own relationship with their athlete's sport. It turns well-meaning into well-equipped.
08
MindFlow
After We Play is privileged to partner with Mindflow Psychology which is an organization of licensed sports psychologists and clinicians available to Huddle members when peer support reaches its limit. Mindflow emphasizes an athlete-centered approach, connecting clients with licensed professionals who understand the demands of sports and performance environments.
