Why Ready, Set, Next?

Navigating changes in sport is hard.

Unfortunately, there are few programs that help student-athletes deal with sport-related changes, especially when it comes to helping student-athletes be ready for the next level or adjusting to life after sport.

We created Ready, Set, Next to fill this gap and support student-athletes (ages 18+) in finding their new normal.

Everyone has a Next. What’s yours?

Realize Your Next

This program was developed by Erin Haugen, PhD, LP, CMPC, a Licensed Psychologist and Certified Mental Performance Consultant® specializing in sport and performance psychology with 15+ years of experience in collegiate sport.

Course content is informed by research-backed sport psychology tools and the experiences of collegiate student-athletes.

This effort is associated with North Dakota’s State Suicide Prevention Program, funded by the ND Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Behavioral Health Division (BHD).
