Episode 021 - Devala Gorrick - 12 Year Professional Athlete, Power of Belief, Struggle of Discovery, Learning from Failure
In this episode of the SHIFT Podcast, we hang out with Devala Gorrick, a 12-year professional soccer player. Gorrick competed in Europe and throughout North America and now resides in Denver, CO.
We discuss the lie or myth about being invincible as a pro athlete, thinking that your career will last forever, then the reality of one day waking up and it's over.
The reality hit hard when he finished playing, “I’m done”, then he thought, “oh man, what now?”
His ability to take risks and experiencing failure was important to his development as a pro. He took that same skill and applied it to life after sport.
Lessons about making the most of the moments and truly be present and enjoy the relationships and experiences around you.
Enjoy the openness, honesty, and stories shared in today's show with Devala Gorrick!
