The great resignation is real.

The coaching profession is in crisis—and you're not the only one feeling it.

NCAA Division II coaches leaving their position within two years - the highest turnover rate in any collegiate division

Average age of mid-career coaches leaving the profession - with 5-10 years experience - when they should be in their prime

Of coaches spend more time on student-athlete mental health since COVID-19, yet don't know resources for their own support

CItation for the stats listed above

Collegiate athletics is losing its most experienced coaches at unprecedented rates because the fire has become unsustainable...

Our hearts sink every time we hear about another great mentor stepping away from college athletics. More than ever, and intensified since the COVID-19 pandemic, coaches bear the compounding weight of demands that extend far beyond the court, field, or classroom.

The brutal truth is without oxygen, even the hottest of fires eventually burns out.

Can you relate, Coach?

"Other duties as assigned" is expanding
Recruiting is driven by enrollment quotas
Your athletes face a growing mental health crisis
You don't know where to turn for your own help

You wear more hats than you can sustain excellently.
Outside voices add constant pressure.
Coaching today barely resembles what it once was.
You feel alone under the weight of leadership.

Having a community of coaches who "get it" isn't just for skill development or winning strategies. Which student-athletes will miss out on consistent mentorship during one of the most formative seasons of life? Which programs lose direction, continuity, and culture when experienced coaches step away? What campuses, communities, and families bear the impact when leadership burns out?

You deserve a space to breathe again—where oxygen is abundant—so your fire can be sustained for the long term.

A Place Where Your Fire Is Fed

You have the fuel. We deliver the oxygen.

I've seen Both Sides.

I've stood exactly where you are.

I’ve felt the glory of raising a championship trophy, the fulfillment of impacting lives, and that crushing silence of the drive home after a loss.

I also know the 80-hour weeks, late nights in the office, and the weight of walking with athletes through life's most painful adversity.

In the last several years, I’ve witnessed an alarming increase in brilliant, seasoned coaches—who should be in their prime—walking away from the game they love because the heat of the position finally outweighed the spark they once had.

I’ve seen the fire in their eyes slowly dim, not for a lack of passion, but for a lack of air.

Coaches don't need more motivation.

They need oxygen.

Why I built the collective

I built the College Coaches Collective because I realized that while the profession provides a playbook, it does not provide a lifeline.

Coaches today are expected to serve as first responders, fundraisers, and institutional recruiters, all while driven to meet relentless performance standards.

The result?

Coaches are often the most isolated people on campus.

I saw the need for a space where the most influential human force shaping the next generation could step out of performance and into connection.

This isn't another networking group; it’s a strategic sanctuary—a place for peer empowerment, professional mentorship, and the 'oxygen' needed to sustain your fire for the mission.

I made the CCC so that fire doesn't burn out.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you've scrolled this far, we know you're probably the reason the Collective matters. But we understand that you may have questions, such as:

How much time will this take each week?

That's entirely up to you. The Collective is designed to support you - not add more to your full plate. Biweekly live calls are recorded, and the community is available to you whenever you need it.

Does it matter what level I coach at?

No. The Collective welcomes coaches from ALL levels of collegiate athletics, but in reality DII, DIII, NAIA, and NCCAA coaches are navigating the most similar big expectations, multiple job titles, and limited resources.

What makes the 2T42 Framework different than other leadership programs?

Unlike most programs that push skill development or generalizations of professional development, 2T42 supports your competitive edge, while building relational skills that enhance performance-driven motivation in today's student-athletes.

What happens after I join the waitlist?
