Steve Davis Jr. Strive Higher After Sports

I’m Steve Davis Jr.

Your Striving Higher Coach

As a former football player, a Master Certified Life Coach, and a Designing Your Life Certified Coach I am dedicated to helping athletes transition to life outside of their sport. I know firsthand how hard and isolating the transition is whether you are prepared for it or it comes suddenly. Through my life experiences, I have adopted the mantra I live by today; S.H.E.D. which stands for “Striving Higher Every Day”. This mantra is all about constant growth and evolution, which for athletes should feel familiar. It is also about seeking knowledge and building your way forward. Through Strive Higher After Sports, I am using the S.H.E.D. mantra along with a design thinking and life design approach to help you envision and create a life beyond sports that aligns with your passions, skills, and goals. Together we will uncover the limitless possibilities that await you and empower you to thrive in every aspect of life.
