The roar of the crowd fades. The lights go out. But the challenges?

They’re just beginning.

Every year, former Notre Dame student-athletes face one of life’s toughest transitions: moving from the field to the office. The truth: 98% of college athletes will make the leap from collegiate athletics to the business world. Many carry life-altering injuries, endure career setbacks, and fight silent battles with mental health or addiction. Without intervention, too many lose their way. LAND exists to make sure no one walks that path alone and that everyone has a safe place to LAND. We provide access to tools and resources across five key areas to help ensure every athlete has the support and guidance to make successful transition.

Support Notre Dame athletes the way you did on the field when everything was on the line.
