Who We Are

Konkur U is an education and development platform within the KonKur ecosystem, founded by Keonna Farmer, a former Division I athlete, Athletic Director, TEDx speaker, and nationally recognized athlete success strategist.

Student-athletes (middle school, high school, college)
Athletes transitioning out of sports
Young professionals and emerging leaders
Schools, nonprofits, and community organizations

Our work sits at the intersection of education, athletics, leadership, mental wellness, NIL readiness, and life after sports.

Why This Work Matters

70% of elite athletes experience identity loss or mental health challenges after sports

Less than 2% of high school athletes will play professionally, yet preparation focuses almost entirely on competition

Student-athletes graduate at higher rates when exposed to leadership, career readiness, and mentorship programs

Purpose-driven partnerships see up to 4x higher brand trust among Gen Z and Millennial audiences

Konkur U exists to close these gaps.
