ARLINGTON, Texas - July 19, 2013 - PRLog -- Ascending Athletes, an organization dedicated to preparing former professional athletes for a promising career after sports, has revealed a partial list of companies stepping up to meet, mentor and possibly launch the next career phase for an elite group of invited athletes at its Career, Franchise and Entrepreneurship Event (CF&E) in Dallas August 20th and 21st.

Easton-Bell, State Farm, Rodan + Fields, Primrose Schools and Velocity Sports Performance are a few of the many big names eager to meet and consider career positions for the athletes at the CF&E event.

“We never have a shortage of companies clamoring for the attention of these athletes, all of whom guide their careers- sports or otherwise- as business people,” says Andy Schroeder, President of Ascending Athletes.

Schroeder says many hiring teams overlook these athletes, basing their decisions on the assumption the former players are spoiled by high salaries in professional sports.  “The reality is, the most promising of these folks sign on to their dream team as an athlete, knowing all along careers are short, the money is temporary and life awaits,” Schroeder explains.

Ascending Athletes launched the CF&E events to connect ambitious former athletes set to blaze entirely new trails with those companies visionary enough to recognize how their powerful pasts will translate to the business world.

“We absolutely value how much a professional athlete must possess in the mental stamina, astute decision making skills and commitment it takes to thrive in a business environment.  We are seeking leaders and winners, and professional athletes have a history of being both,” says former NFL Player and Agency Recruiter, Tim Watson of State Farm Insurance.

Since their last event went over the expected capacity, Ascending Athletes expanded this event to accommodate more former professional athletes, employers and franchises.  Interested parties are encouraged to make their reservations immediately.  For more information regarding this upcoming Career, Franchise and Entrepreneurship event or Ascending Athletes, contact Andy Schroeder at 888-964-9990.
