The first installment of a new series titled "Biggest Adjustments", where I talk about the most significant changes that I had to adjust to when I transitioned out of my First Act and into my Next Act.   

There is a certain physical expectation you develop for what your body is able to do as an athlete. I spent years pushing my body to its limits and beyond, both in performance of my sport and in the strength and conditioning side of being an athlete. I naturally was able to do more than the average person and I got accustomed to meeting certain standards because of the amount of effort that was being put into my body.   

But what happens to those expectations when you retire? How do you navigate not being able to perform like you used to when your success and confidence came from that performance? Listen to hear some things that I've found to be effective in my experience dealing with this adjustment.
