This episode comes with a little bit of tough love, but you need to hear it. Everything in your life after sports does not need to be a PR. You can be motivated and achieve without being at 110% all the time.

I talk about the negative effects of holding on to this mindset and give you strategies to achieve a more balanced and self-compassionate way to achieve what you want it life.

In this episode, I get a little nerdy about behavior science and how it applies to the struggle retired athletes have with setting non-sport goals. You would think it would be easy, but often it's not.

Looking though the lens of Applied Behavior Analysis, also known as ABA, I go into the reasons why this is the case. But it's not all gloom and doom because I also give you strategies to work though these challenges so you can use your strengths to set and achieve non-sport goals in your life after sports.

You can start to get very clear on what you want your sports retirement to look like with my FREE 3-day experience, The Vintage Athlete Awakening. I will take you through 3 days of exercises to help you be present and gain self-awareness as you explore the possibilities for you beyond the field. https://www.vintageathlete.org/vintage-athlete-awakening
