PRLog - Jun 21, 2013 - DALLAS -- Ascending Athletes, an organization dedicated to preparing former professional athletes for a promising career after sports is holding its Career, Franchise and Entrepreneurship Event August 20th and 21st at the Embassy Suites Dallas - DFW Airport North Outdoor World.
Selected professional athlete attendees will have the opportunity to meet and network with hiring teams from some of the most desirable employers across the country.

“We work with a very unique set of contenders in the job market,” says Ascending Athletes President Andy Schroeder. “These athletes have incredible leadership skills, work ethic and a diverse set of interests and experience.
