About Me
Austin Causey
My name is Austin Causey! I am the Coach and Founder of Navigating Stages. I am currently receiving my Certified Coaching credential through Coach Training Alliance (CTA), an International Coaching Federation (ICF) recognized organization, as a practicing Life-Coach for athletes.
On the field, I am a professional soccer player with 5+ years of experience in the professional game. Born and raised in New England, I spent my youth career at the highest-level with the New England Revolution Academy, before turning pro with the Richmond Kickers in 2021 and 2022. Following the Kickers, I was part of the inaugural seasons with Lexington Sporting Club in 2023 and 2024 before joining the New York Red Bulls organization in 2025.
Throughout my athletic career, I noticed a need for personalized mental health resources,
especially competitive soccer players. In 2025, I created Navigating Stages, a resource formulated for individual athletes to help elevate their mental health on and off the field.
As an athlete, I've had a front-row seat to the challenges and transitions that define your career. From transitioning between teams to overcoming injuries, setbacks, and balancing life off the field.
Through it all I've learned one thing:
It is not easy to navigate the stages of your career and life alone.
Austin really helped me think different internally. Our session definitely gave me more open mindedness and perspective on how I view myself and my life.
