About

Win the mental battle before the comeback. The Athletic School is for athletes in transition — anyone rebuilding who they are beyond the game. Hosted by Igor Acorinte, a former competitive soccer player and Brazilian immigrant who rebuilt his life from nothing in the US, now applying that same mindset as a husband, dad, and Ironman-in-training. Every episode digs into the real mechanics of reconnection — pressure, self-doubt, identity, and the ownership it takes to move forward. Not motivation. The actual work underneath it. New episodes every other week.
