For Ex-Athletes. Application Only. Limited Spots.
In 90 Days, With a Coach Who Has Been Through It.
Ascend is a 1-on-1 coaching program that rebuilds your training, nutrition, mindset, and sense of purpose after sport ends. Not a course. Not a template. A complete system designed specifically for the athletic transition.
Applications reviewed personally by Owen. Not everyone gets in.
Sound Familiar
This Was Built for You
You competed at a high level and have not found anything that comes close to that feeling of purpose
You are willing to commit fully for 90 days and do the work without excuses
You want a coach who actually understands the athletic transition, not generic life advice
You are done drifting and ready to build an identity, a body, and a direction you are proud of
You still have the competitor in you. You just need a new arena.
Limited spots. Owen reviews every application personally.
The Proof of Concept
Before Ascend existed, I was the test case. Former hockey player. Zero structure. Zero direction. No idea who I was outside the sport. I spent two years rebuilding through trial and error, fitness first, then mindset, then mission. What took me two years I have compressed into a 90-day system.
The Ascend Protocol
Most coaching sells information. Ascend gives you a system. The reason you have not figured it out yet is not discipline, nothing has been built for someone with your specific background, your psychology, and your exact transition. We call it the Ascend Protocol: three pillars, six phases, 90 days. Built on the same competitive frameworks elite athletes already understand, just applied to the next chapter.
Six phases of structured identity work. Self mastery, emotional resilience, discipline frameworks, and the mental architecture to lead your own life, so you stop drifting and start operating with intention.
A fully personalized training program built around your body, your goals, and your schedule. Nutrition framework, macro targets, supplement protocol, and recovery, so physical discipline becomes the foundation everything else is built on.
Sport gave you direction. You need a new one. Career strategy, purpose architecture, productivity systems, and daily execution, so you stop existing and start building what comes next.
What You Get When You Are Accepted
Motivation fades. Systems do not. Here is everything included.
Built specifically for your body, goals, and schedule. Not a template. A real program that gets adjusted as you progress.
Your exact calorie and macro targets, meal timing, and supplement protocol. A system you actually stick to.
Structured mental performance work drawn from sports psychology. The identity work your old coaching staff never taught you.
Direct access to Owen every week for 90 days. Not a junior coach. Not a group call. Owen.
Voice notes, texts, real-time check-ins. When something comes up mid-week, you have a coach in your corner.
Peers who understand exactly what you are going through because they are in it alongside you.

Your Investment: Discussed on your application call.
The Ascend Guarantee: If you show up fully for all 90 days and do not see real, measurable progress across Mind, Body, and Mission, we coach you at no charge until you do. We only accept clients we are confident we can help. That is why this is application only.
Why This Exists
My whole life was built around hockey. Every morning, every decision, every relationship filtered through the game. It was my identity. My structure. My purpose.
When I stepped off the ice for the last time, I did not just lose a sport. I lost the structure that held my entire life together. The discipline. The daily rhythm. The team. The reason to wake up and compete.
No coach pulled me aside. No program existed. No roadmap. Just a quiet room and a question I could not answer: who am I without this?
I rebuilt myself through trial and error. Fitness first. Then the mental work. Then direction. It took years to figure out what should have taken months.
Ascend is the system I wish existed. I built it so you do not have to figure it out alone, and so you do not waste years the way I did.

Be Honest With Yourself
You want a passive program that runs itself while you do nothing
You are not willing to be coached, challenged, or held accountable
You expect results without doing the reps
You are looking for motivation content, not a real system
You want someone to hand you a plan and then disappear
