In August of 2019, Goldman continued his foray into nonprofit development by joining MindSpark Learning, an education nonprofit based in Colorado. As the Director of Athletic Partnerships, Goldman oversees their sports education program, which is dedicated to the holistic growth and development of coaches, athletes, organizations, and their communities. Leaning on the latest science behind creativity, learning design, and social-emotional development, Goldman continues to operate and develop ideas that lead to a better and healthier future for athletes of all ages and levels.
