Letter from the Founders
Your new training program is ready.
Built specifically for former competitive athletes — the ones who still feel the fire, still want the edge, and still refuse to treat "after" like the end of the story. You may not be competing like you used to, but you're still an athlete. You're different. Those crappy general fitness apps aren't for you.
Download the IDNTY by TeamBuildr app. Start training today. Get in the game.
Once you're in, pick your training plan and introduce yourself to the community — tell us what you played and what you're chasing now.
Fill out this quick form and you might see your story featured here next week and seen by nearly 1 million athletes.
Then dig into IDNTY #7 to learn from the Hardest Worker in the Room, White Mamba and more.
Open the app. Do the work. I'll see you there.
Once an athlete, always an athlete. That's IDNTY. Athletes for Life!

IDNTY Athlete Spotlights
JJ Tomlin • Football • Franklin, TN
Former Washington University quarterback who still holds multiple school records and took his game overseas after college. Now navigating the next chapter while keeping the competitive edge that defined him under center. A clear example of what it looks like when the athlete identity doesn't get left on the field.
Elizabeth Brigidi • Cheerleading, Gymnastics • Bal Harbour, FL
A lifelong competitor who carried the discipline of cheer and gymnastics into everything that came after. She still trains with the same standards she competed with — and she's building a next chapter that looks nothing like "retired."

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson finished football with seven bucks in his pocket. Then he built one of the most relentless training systems in the world — the Iron Paradise — and took it with him everywhere.
This is the definitive look at how he trains, how he eats (including those famous French toast cheat days), and the real daily habits that turned a former defensive end into a global force. Actionable lessons for anyone who still wants to be the hardest worker in the room.
Diana Taurasi's Blueprint for Longevity, Consistency and a Life That Never Quits

Twenty seasons. All-time leading scorer. Six Olympic golds. Diana Taurasi didn't just dominate — she stayed dominant longer than almost anyone thought possible.
This piece breaks down the training, recovery, and mindset that kept her elite into her 40s, plus the real post-career adjustments she's making now. Consistency was never a slogan for her. It was the whole system.
The Billion-Dollar Coach: Brad Arnett, NX Level, and the Summer Home of NFL Superstars

All-Pros. Pro Bowlers. Over a billion dollars in contracts training in one Wisconsin gym this offseason. Brad Arnett has been quietly building that standard for decades — the same system that helped turn a 15-year-old JJ Watt into a three-time Defensive Player of the Year.
This is the story of the culture, the details, and the long-view approach that keeps elite athletes coming back.
