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 #8 to learn from the GOAT, the fastest woman in American history 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
Alyssa Armitage • Pole Vault • North Tonawanda, NY
Binghamton's four-time America East pole vault champion, a Starpoint product who kept raising the bar until the conference titles stacked. The runway, the plant, the same nerve it takes to go again when the bar is already higher than last year. That's the athlete identity that doesn't stay in the pit.
Emily Hanenberg • Volleyball • Pueblo, CO
Former Pittsburg State middle blocker who turned the weight room into the next chapter — sports performance coach, still in the building, still training other athletes the way she once trained herself. Proof that the game can change uniforms and still be the work.

Submit Your Questions NowTom Brady's Always Ready: The LFG Method

Sixth-round pick. Seven Super Bowl rings. A body that was never supposed to last and a system that made it last anyway.
This is Brady and Alex Guerrero's real playbook — pliability, bands, hydration, protein in the window, and the habit of staying ready even when the number isn't called. Not a museum piece. A method you can steal on a Tuesday.
Allyson Felix — The Fastest Lesson in Longevity

Eleven Olympic medals. Then retirement. Then the question that should sit with every IDNTY athlete: what's still possible?
Felix is chasing another lap toward Los Angeles, with kids in the house, a company on the books, and a body she's learning to treat differently. Track days, box jumps, protein after the work, and the honesty that rest is part of the session.
Bas Rutten vs. Brian Urlacher — The Real Knockout

A charity afterparty. Stepped-on toes. An All-Pro linebacker and a UFC Hall of Famer one bad decision from a headline. Nobody threw the punch. That's the point.
Rutten's night in Florida is the masterclass former athletes actually need when the old wiring fires in a parking lot, a sideline, or a group text. Capability is not the same thing as permission.
Danny Foley — The Program & The Injury

We've built a lot of Ferraris and kept managing them like Corollas. Foley spent years putting Special Operations athletes back together.
His argument is simple and uncomfortable: the program can break you, and the right program can bring you back. Joint work. Tissue work. Then strength. Start where it hurts — foot and ankle, shoulder, or hip and hamstring — and get back in before you feel 100 percent.
