The Vet Room

This space is for players who've lived it....Overseas vets. The ones who were on buses in Turkey, apartments in Poland, long seasons in Australia, winter in Estonia...and now you're home missing the locker room. If you have a passport full of stamps, and a credit card full of miles, this is your corner.

Here is why it exists

A lot of us didn’t get to retire the way we wanted. Covid shut whole leagues down. Teams used it as an excuse to cut people. Some of you came home thinking it was temporary and never got the call back. Others retired on purpose, but once the season rhythm disappeared it got quiet fast. You go from being around teammates every day to sitting at home trying to build a business, coach, teach, whatever...and you are doing it alone.

THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN

This room puts the overseas network back in one place. You can jump in and find old teammates. You can link with players from your era who are now coaching, running programs, doing financial work, starting companies. You can help younger guys who are still playing and just need someone older to tell them the truth. You can ask questions and actually get answers from people who know how overseas contracts, visas, passports, taxes and buyouts work because they lived it.

This is the first space on the internet built for overseas veterans to stay connected and to keep using the relationships they earned over years of playing. The more vets who come in...the more power this room has. Because every time another former player joins, that is another country, another team, another contact, another opportunity that gets added for everybody.

So if you played overseas, if Covid cut your run short, if you came home and got lost in regular life, if you are still playing but want to set up the next thing...stay in here. Talk. Share. Post jobs. Ask for help. Put your experience in so the next overseas vet doesn’t have to start from zero.
