Welcome to the first episode of The SHIFT Podcast, assisting athletes through successful transitions in sport and life. In this episode we hear from our co-host, Wells Thompson, who shares his story of growing up in NC, being kidnapped at 16, 'walking-on' the men's soccer team at Wake Forest University, to eventually being drafted by the New England Revolution of Major League Soccer. We also explore the harsh realities of transitioning to life after playing professionally and the process of learning how to make the most of the smalls moments in life.
