The game ends.
Your career doesn’t wait.

01 The Problem
When the final whistle blows, the playbook disappears.
For years, your schedule, your team, and your next goal were set for you. Then eligibility ends, and nobody hands you the plan for what comes next. Most athletes run into the same three walls.
A resume that doesn’t translate
- A blank or thin resume
- No tech or business background
- A skillset that’s real but hard to explain
Interviews that don’t land
- Low confidence in a new arena
- Stories that undersell what you’ve done
- Missed opportunities from weak delivery
› The Edge
Why athletes win in sales
Sales leaders hire for the same traits coaches recruit for. You already have them. We teach you how to use them, and how to prove it in an interview.
- CoachabilityYou take feedback and apply it on the next rep.
- ResilienceYou’ve lost a game and still shown up Monday.
- CompetitivenessYou want the number, and you want to beat it.
- DisciplineYou’ve lived on a schedule built around daily reps.

04 The Founder
From Detroit, to Purdue football, to President’s Club.
Timothy Cason II, Founder
Tim grew up in the Detroit area, where competing was a way of life. After playing at Clarkston High School, he earned a spot on the Division I football team at Purdue University, where he played cornerback from 2014 to 2018.
When football ended, he faced the same question every athlete does: what now? With no playbook, he started at the bottom in tech sales as a business development rep at Oracle. He worked his way to field account executive, then led a team of six reps. He went on to sell enterprise integration and automation software at Salesforce (MuleSoft), and has earned President’s Club five times.
Along the way he saw that the habits that win on the field (preparation, coachability, and showing up after a loss) are the same habits that win in sales. Next Move Playbook gives athletes the playbook he had to write himself.
