Jill Muhe, PhD, MBA

The gym was my proving ground.

​

I grew up a coach’s daughter, spending hours in practices and team huddles long before I ever stepped into competition myself. I went on to compete at the collegiate and professional levels, coach at the collegiate level, and serve as a head athletic trainer.

​

Sport was never just a game for me. It was a performance ecosystem. It taught me how structure sharpens talent. How feedback accelerates growth. How identity and performance are deeply connected.

 

And what happens when that structure disappears.

That transition, from built-in performance systems to self-directed careers, is where many athletes stall.

​

That’s the work I care about.

​

Today, I bring together lived experience and academic depth to help former athletes evolve how they operate beyond sport.

​

With a PhD in Organizational Behavior and a focus in Leadership, I study performance, identity, and high-achievement systems. With an MBA, I understand the professional landscape athletes step into. And with years inside athletics, I understand the wiring that makes them exceptional.

​

My coaching blends:

• Strategic clarity
• Performance structure
• Direct accountability

​

Not to reinvent who you are, but to evolve how you operate.

​

What I Do

​

Career Placement (Athletes to Careers)

As Southwest VP and Career Coach at Athletes to Careers (A2C), I work with college athletes preparing for life after sport, helping them translate their competitive edge into meaningful first opportunities.

 

Performance Coaching

Through private coaching and The Career Huddle, I work with former athletes navigating performance, identity, and growth in their next chapter.

​

If you’re building what comes next, I’d be honored to be in your corner.
