BEYOND THE FINISH – ATHLETE EMPOWERMENT FUND

Because an athlete’s journey doesn’t end at the finish line

Beyond The Finish

Beyond The Finish is Impact Sport’s athlete empowerment pillar focused on preparing the actors for life beyond competition.

Through mental health support, financial literacy, entrepreneurship training, career transition, and community reintegration, we work with active and retired athletes to ensure dignity, stability, and purpose long after race day.

This portal allows individuals and organisations to voluntarily contribute toward sustaining this work – transparently, responsibly, and at any level they choose.

Beyond The Finish: Athlete Empowerment in Action

In December 2025, forty active and retired athletes participated in an intensive entrepreneurship and financial literacy training delivered in collaboration with Stanbic Business Incubator, alongside a mental health programme conducted in partnership with Safe Places.

The sessions equipped athletes with practical tools to navigate life beyond competition – strengthening personal resilience, financial confidence, and long-term career pathways.
