Sets For Life

Once you are no longer chasing championships it can be tough to set new goals that aren’t tied to your sport.

As athletes we are often given play books and scouting reports. However, there is no booklet on adulting. As college athletes there are a lot of things that we don’t have to do for ourselves. Once we are on our own reality sets in rather quickly.

Often times society can fail to see our utility outside of sport and it often leads to athletes being enabled instead of others building us up. Over time the responsibility of being a collegiate student-athlete can take a toll on you physically, psychologically, and emotionally. When you finally step away from your sport you enter a time of extreme vulnerability. Many athletes get involved in sport as way to cope. Once it’s over we are forced to deal with issues that we have suppressed for years. It is extremely dangerous when your sport is stripped away from you.

Life as a college athlete is similar to a dictatorship considering the fact that we don’t have to think for ourselves. Many former student-athletes have no idea how to function independently. Life after sport is often the first competition athletes find themselves totally unprepared for. They find themselves competing again people who have spent years preparing themselves for careers in tech and STEM while most athletes spent years preparing to win championships. We find ourselves playing catch up.

Many student-athletes come out of college with an interesting combination. Full scholarship athletes have no debt and a crazy mentality. Often times we focus on what we lost because we no longer have our sport. In reality we should focus on what we do have and use those things to our advantage as we move forward.

Thank you Kobe. Rest well.

When you want something bad enough, obstacles don’t really matter. When adversity comes into your life that’s a sign for you to level up! The transition into life after sport is often rough because as athletes we grow accustomed to doing one thing but no one really prepares us for the day when that one thing is over. We spend so much time devoted to our sport that we don’t take the time to develop our other gifts and talents. The one thing that gave us all of our confidence is stripped from us and it seems like it happens overnight. Many of us struggle to figure out what sort of value we have if we can no longer score points. You do not want to miss this episode with special guest Yolanda Moore.
