Let me know if you ever heard this as a competitive athlete:
- You need to go all in.
- Block out all distractions.
- Give it everything you have.
- Dedicate yourself.
- You have work on your game in-season and in the off-season.
Of course you did. Our well intentioned coaches and parents wanted to support our athletic dreams. However, what they failed to realize was by encouraging us to go "all in" on our sports, we effectively foreclosed, or ruled, out all other elements of ourselves.
Thing about students in your high school or university, who we NOT athletes. They were encouraged to:
- Find yourself.
- Explore your passions.
- Travel.
- Try new things.
Thus, athletes, when their competitive careers come to a close, often find themselves lost, confused, and broken.
In episode 53, we interview Dr. Will Goodloe, Foudner of Behind The Whistle, and author of De4L Life & Leadership. Dr. Goodloe, when completing his decorate studied this concept of athlete identity crisis and foreclosure.
