“We’re so much more than our sport,” said @walker_merrill1 , a hard-to-grasp truth from an athlete who built his whole foundation on football and watched it go when injury took the game away. His story is a reminder that identity can’t rest on something fleeting, because the game ends for everyone.

Our next guest is proof that you don’t have to wait for permission — or a diploma — to start building something that matters. @jkorn_23 is a student at Tulane University and a co-founder of The Second Half Network, a career development platform built exclusively for collegiate student-athletes.

The idea behind @secondhalfnetwork is simple and, frankly, overdue. Ninety-nine percent of college athletes will not play their sport professionally, yet the transition out of competition is largely unmeasured and unsupported. Second Half exists to close that gap, connecting athletes with vetted mentors who are either former college athletes or professionals with at least six years in their field.

20,877 athletes told the NCAA what they want most from their schools.
The #1 answer? Career prep. Ahead of everything else.
We built Second Half Network to be that answer. The beta is live across 20+ universities, V2 drops in February, and we are now recruiting mentors for Spring 2027. 🏈🎓
Here’s how easy it is to start: 1️⃣ Take one call. 20 to 30 minutes, your schedule, your cap. 2️⃣ Run a mock interview in your field. 3️⃣ Mentor a full cycle with your own mentees.
Who can mentor? Two routes in: ✅ 6+ years working in your field ✅ Former college or pro athlete, 2+ years into life after sport
Every mentor is background checked before their first meeting with an athlete.
If you’ve ever said “I wish someone had told me this earlier,” this is your chance to be that person. Link in bio or DM us.
