My Story

Soccer was the center of my world from the age of 5 until I graduated from the University of Florida and played my last game. I wish someone had been there to prepare me for the sudden loss of identity, passion, routine, community, and goals that came with leaving sports and transitioning into adult life. I found myself in a unique position as a Nurse and Former Athlete- I had the education, ability, and passion to empower others to create THEIR version of a healthy life AND I was part of a (former athlete/athlete) community that was severely lacking in support. Realizing this was my calling- I quit my traditional nursing job, became a board-certified coach, and dove head first into the world of supporting athletes and former athletes as they navigate life after sport.

Meet Your Coaches

Hi, I’m Alyssa Acompora, a Board-Certified Nurse Coach, Registered Nurse, Certified Nutrition Coach, and former D1 swimmer. I pursued coaching to help others co-create new healthy lifestyle habits, reach personal health goals and improve aspects of both mind and body health. I am passionate about helping athletes and other high achievers pave a path of consistency and sustainable success by supporting my clients on various topics including Confidence Coaching, Lifestyle Modification, Body Acceptance, Intuitive Nutrition and more.

We can’t wait to work with you!

My Story

When I was a D1 swimmer, my sport was everything to me. It’s hard to put into words the level of sacrifice and identity that goes into becoming an elite athlete. Letting go of that isn’t easy. I handled this loss by diving head-first into the world of ICU nursing. It took me almost 8 years at the bedside to realize how much the transition from “athlete” to “adult” shaped me into who I am today. Nowadays, I use what I learned as an athlete, nurse, and coach to lead a truly sustainable lifestyle. And while I’m grateful for my experience and expertise, I’m on a mission to ensure no other athlete is left alone to struggle through post-athletic life.

Life doesn’t end when our sport does. Let’s discover what’s next together.
