ATHELO - Key Persons
Job Titles:
- Director of Finish Line Lacrosse
- Professional Athlete and Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Model
Alex Aust is a professional lacrosse player, Under Armour ambassador, and coach.
Aust is the director of Finish Line Lacrosse where she organizes and directs camps throughout the United States and East Coast Select, a youth girls lacrosse club program. Aust is a fitness instructor who created a virtual community called The Sweaat Life, training 400 women each week. Aust is a 2021 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model as well as an Under Armour Athlete.
In 2016, Aust was selected by the Baltimore Ride with their second pick overall in the inaugural United Women's Lacrosse League Draft. She also played for the WPLL Pride. She has also been a member of Team USA since 2014. She won a gold medal with Team USA at the Women's World Cup in 2017 in London.
Aust is currently playing in the Athletes Unlimited Lacrosse League - this is a new short-form and fast-paced league.
Right away, our team recognized that Alex had a captivating public presence not a lot of other female lacrosse players were cultivating. She was larger than life - eager to move beyond the title of athlete and expand into the realm of role model, influencer, and model. She was already teaching lacrosse clinics and camps, but she teamed up with Athelo Group so she could take on more outside of her sport, creatively. We set out to help her build new partnerships and to help her leverage her value so she could build strong ties with her current affiliates.
Alex is continuing to find ways to entertain new audiences and foster mutually beneficial ties with her current partnerships. While lacrosse will continue to be a central piece of Alex Aust's brand, our goal is to continue to expand as an entertainer and, more importantly, an entrepreneur. We're continually helping to educate and expose Alex to new avenues where she can grow as an athlete and individual.

Brisa Hennessy: The Costa Rican surfer who always has a smile, on finding her inner power
Brisa Hennessy lives quite a nomadic and extraordinary, adventurous life. Her journey first began when her parents moved to Costa Rica. She was born there and lived off the grid until she was 9 years old. Surrounded by only jungle, the ocean, and no electricity, this is where she found her love for surfing and her zest for life. She then moved to Hawaii, where she discovered her passion to compete and where her surfing career started to take flight. In 2018 she accomplished her dream and qualified for the World Surf League Championship Tour. One of her other passions is cooking, learning about nutrition, and how to properly fuel her body as an athlete and the people she loves. Today she currently resides part-time in Fiji, full-time traveling place to place, competing, and cooking around the globe.

Nate Ebner is an accomplished athlete and a true testament to the power of hard work and determination. Ebner's journey in sports began at an early age with his father as his ultimate role model, shaping his love for athletics and instilling the values that guided his athletic career.
Ebner's exceptional rugby skills landed him a place on the US Under-19 and Under-20 rugby teams. His talent was commemorated during his recognition as the team's most valuable player at the 2007 and 2008 junior world championships.
As Ebner entered his college years, he became a walk-on with Ohio State's football team. His relentless work ethic later earned him a spot with the New England Patriots as a sixth-round draft pick. Three years and one Super Bowl ring into his NFL career, Ebner took time off from football to represent the United States in the 2016 Summer Olympics as part of the Sevens Rugby team. Ebner returned to the Patriots to win two more Super Bowl titles before moving to the New York Giants in 2020.
In 2021, Ebner published his book, "Finish Strong: A Father's Code and a Son's Path," chronicling his journey as an athlete under the invaluable influence of his father and sports in his life. The book is a source of inspiration for any athlete striving for greatness, especially those who have had to overcome adversity along the way.
