Executive Vice President, Career Transition Counseling







Jeffrey M. Rifkin, Ph.D, Executive Vice President, Career Transition Counseling, has dedicated his working life to the development of strategies for change with the many clients he has worked with nationwide. Dr. Rifkin has been coaching executives, professional athletes and other professionals desiring to maximize their earning potentials while maintaining balanced, fulfilling lives for the past 20 years.

As a graduate of Arizona State University, Dr. Rifkin is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, who has not limited his practice to marital and/or family problems. He has diligently examined the change process and is a pioneer in Solution-Focused Therapy, a change process designed to help his clients create change rapidly by concentrating on their strengths and successes rather than on weaknesses and failures. He is internationally published on some of his cutting-edge methods and this strong desire to help accomplished professionals achieve extraordinary success propelled him into working with Sports Professionals Incorporated.

Dr. Rifkin and the SPI team are dedicated to helping you achieve the maximum potential in your life. Whether you are a recent college draft pick stepping into the pro's for the first time, a veteran competing to maintain your edge in the game, or a recently released/retired pro player experiencing transition out of the game for the first time, we can help you deal with the challenges you are experiencing. Our goal is simple: To help you get to where you want to be, and challenge you to be more. Dr. Jeff Rifkin's customized coaching approach will help you not only achieve peak performance in your game, but will also help you dramatically increase your overall well being, balance, and satisfaction in all areas of your life.



" My experience of Dr. Rifkin and his team effectiveness in helping pro players deal with the challenges of life, are of a Super Bowl caliber - something I know a little about having won two Super Bowls. He has helped friends of mine, helped me be a better business man, and I know he can help you."

-Leonard Marshall, former NFL Player, 13 year veteran, The New York Giants, Pro Bowl Player
