Do you feel a lost sense of purpose in life post athletics?
Were you a college athlete who feels lost in the real world today?
Here's my message to you...
I STRUGGLE WITH IT TOO.
Our whole lives we did two big things that I feel really set us up for struggle in the real world:
1. We wrap our worth up in wins and losses/successes and failures.
2. We are trained to go 100 mph from sun up to sun down.
I think it's so important to look at life in a new light because here's the truth... WE ARE STILL COMPETING.
There just isn't a PHYSICAL game, or race that we're preparing for.
IT'S A GAME CALLED LIFE.
So answer these questions:
1. Who are you? (soon to be wife, daughter, sister, coach, mentor)
2. Who's on my team? (soon to be husband, parents, brothers, athletes)
3. How are you competing to be the best version of yourself for the people on your team? (by taking care of my physical and mental health, being the best coach I can, connecting in conversation)
4. What are the things we need to be doing on a daily basis? (Exercise, sleep, hydrate, eat to fuel my body, mediate, therapy, pitching seminars, connecting/eye contact in conversation, get off social media)
Even though we're not going to practice every day and not physically seeing our teammates, there are still there in our lives! They just don't wear uniforms anymore.
Identify the root of the problem and then fix it from there.
Love you all so much-
I want you to find that sense of purpose as much as I want to find it for myself.
We're learning together!
