Dr. Stephen Alli enters his third season with Florida Football in GatorMade as the Director of Professional Development. A native of Canada, Alli played wide receiver at Florida from 2009 to 2013. After injuries ended his career in football, his goal was to work with athletes on the mental aspect of the game: to improve their performance, manage life outside of the game, and help athletes with their transitions in and out of sports. Following a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology, Alli pursued graduate studies in Mental Health Counseling, Education, and Business Management. He also earned a Ph.D. in Counseling with a specialty area in Athlete Development. Motivated to assist athletes in managing life in and out of sports, he has previously worked in the Former Player Department of the NFL Players Association, as an Assistant Director of Student-Athlete Development at Clemson University, as the Player Development and Mental Performance Manager of the Philadelphia 76ers, and a dual role as Director of Operations and Director of Cognitive Performance at Sacramento Republic FC. Alli is married to Rebekah Alli. He enjoys cooking and staying active.
