Pivot

dots

Across India, thousands of athletes dedicate their lives to sport but too often, their journeys end without the skills, networks, or opportunities to thrive beyond the field. Many face early dropout, limited career pathways, unequal access to resources, and underrepresentation in the sports ecosystem. Existing systems focus largely on sports performance, leaving gaps in leadership, personal growth, financial readiness, and long-term career support. 

PIVOT is designed to change this. It is all about “Your Move Beyond Sport”. 

By equipping athletes with confidence, leadership skills, and career-ready tools, the program builds a bridge between performance and life beyond sport. It addresses urgent challenges like high dropout rates among girls, weak policy enforcement, gender inequity, and the lack of structured transition support, all while creating a community of empowered athletes who can lead, inspire, and shape the future of Indian sport. The goal of the program is to focus on the overall holistic development of athletes, making them employable and sustainable in the future.
