"Athletes deserve a plan for every stage."

Bigger Than
Hoop Dreams

BTHD is an AI-augmented athlete development platform helping professional, collegiate, and amateur athletes build a plan, pathway, and purpose at every stage of their athletic journey. Delivered through two integrated digital products, accessible via web and mobile.

Missing Layer in Athletic Development

The sports industry invests enormous resources developing athletic performance. But preparation for what comes with and after sport is rarely part of the program. Most athletes arrive at transitions underprepared because not all athletes had a plan and pathway to equip them along the way.

The Team

Built by Someone
Who Lived It

BTHD was founded by a former athlete who experienced the transition firsthand. That credibility is built into every layer of the product.

Harry Ezenibe

Founder

Former athlete, entrepreneur, corporate and technology leader. Past experience includes U SPORTS at Saint Mary's University, NBA Elite Camps and Toronto Raptors Front Office Player Development. His journey and impact across Serbia, France, Italy, Mexico, Angola, Nigeria, Canada, USA and the Dominican Republic enable him to identify the gaps that exist in athlete transition. Harry brings firsthand knowledge of athlete transition to every product decision at BTHD. He founded BTHD to create the platform he wished existed, a structured system for what comes after sports.
