The initial investment will enable additional development of a growing network of active and retired athletes leveraging the power of community to accelerate their careers and ambitions along with the opening of The Post’s private clubhouse in New York City in early 2023. Crista Samaras, an inventor, businesswoman, and legendary Princeton and U.S. Women’s National Team Lacrosse player, will serve as Vice President of Content. Wes Gavin, who led product functions for SI Tix and is a former All-Ivy football player at Yale, will serve as Vice President of Product. Ashlan Ramsey, a former events director at Eligo and LPGA tour member who was the top-ranked woman amateur in the world, will serve as Community Leader.
Highlights of The Post membership include:
- New members get put into “teams” with similar career aspirations for intimate networking and learning.
- Members access a world-class network of forever athletes to build their personal board of directors
- Exclusive curriculum and content developed by educational and executive coaching experts are offered

“What makes The Post unique is that we are building a community fueled by innate qualities powering all athletes such as self-belief, drive, leadership and perseverance,” said LaRose. “Athletes thrive on the team mindset. Our mission is to discover what members are passionate about and put them in position to achieve those ambitions beyond sports by replicating the components of a team, through their own board of directors, with infrastructure, expert coaching, goal setting, competition, and accountability.”
The link between leadership and competitive sports is well-established. Collegiate and professional athletes account for a sizeable number of Fortune 500 CEOs and women in the C-Suite as well as 15 of the last 21 U.S. Presidents. To learn more about The Post, visit https://thepost.co/
