Co-founded by experts in leadership development and product design, Nevin Caple and Colleen McCaffrey, LoveAthlete responds to a rapidly shifting landscape that is reshaping how we define talent and leadership. Research shows that 84% of employers rank emotional intelligence as equally as important as technical skills. Yet many college students have expressed feeling overwhelmed by information overload, making it harder to find emotional clarity and make decisions. By bridging the gap between the skills athletes develop through sport and the competencies employers value most, LoveAthlete offers a sustainable and unified approach that complements and enhances the work of the staff who support them, while partnering with employers to develop a pipeline of talent for the future of work.  

“It has been incredibly rewarding to merge technology, psychology, and gamification into a product that helps athletes better connect with themselves, each other, and the world around them,” said Caple. “We translate what athletes already do well every day into a language and framework that they can understand, own, and apply to meet their personal and professional goals.”

The innovative platform functions as a human skills companion for athletes, blending behavioral science and asynchronous learning with interactive, peer-to-peer social experiences. Through short, engaging micro-lessons that build confidence and clarity, self-awareness, and interpersonal skills, the format creates a learning environment that is engaging, collaborative, and real. LoveAthlete meets the growing desire for human connection among athletes, aligns with employers' need for soft skills, and offers scalable solutions for institutions to support athlete well-being, personal development, and engagement.

“Behind every athlete is a whole person,” Caple added. “We honor that journey by helping them grow into the leaders they wish to become.”
