The Executable Transition Framework (ETF™) provides research-informed educational resources and professional training for supporting life after sport. Optional training leads to the ETF™ Framework Completer designation.

Each module builds practitioner competency in athlete-transition work.

I lost a friend after his career ended. No one called it a system failure. No one named what had actually collapsed. The sport structure that had organized his entire life was gone, and nothing replaced it. That’s the gap the framework exists to close.
Institutional outcomes reporting is in development. A 90-day planning cycle is part of the educational framework; it is not evidence of measured results. No cohort outcomes or live institutional dashboard are presented here.

Three audiences: licensed clinicians, sports psychologists, and transition coaches who certify as ETF™ Framework Completers; former competitive athletes who self-implement through the Motion book and companion resources; and families navigating the transition through the Understanding the Crash + Family Playbook series.
The self-paced modules typically take 8–12 weeks of part-time work. There is no hard deadline — practitioners work at their own pace.
Published research informs the concepts. That does not establish independent validation of the 6 Identities test or the ETF framework.
6 Identities® is the consumer self-reflection tool. ETF™ provides the related educational framework and professional training. ETF™ Framework Completer recognizes completion of the ETF education program. It is not a professional license or authorization to provide clinical care.
No. ETF is a structured reconstruction system. It is not therapy, medical diagnosis, or psychological evaluation. ETF™ Framework Completers who are also licensed clinicians may integrate ETF into their clinical practice; non-clinical practitioners use it within the scope of coaching and do not diagnose or treat mental-health conditions.
