In a sports rich town, the best way he felt that he could express and validate his worth was through basketball. As years went on, his collegiate career was coming to an end and the dream of playing professionally overseas was no longer appealing, he realized that he was so focused on validating his worth and proving himself to his peers that he never truly thought about how he wanted his life to look like in the long run. Through the connections built over the years, he was able to get guidance from a few other former athletes that had surpassed these same struggles, creating success in their careers and in other business ventures. As a result of them challenging his thinking and the mentoring relationships that were built, they helped him realize that continually investing in myself as well as diversifying his skill sets and income as a young professional will ensure that his life is not defined by his career path. Ultimately, leading him to the life that he want to lives. Josh Dillingham
