On this episode of Alumni Direct's show "ATHLETES TO ENTREPRENEURS: The Alumni Journey," we talk to Olivia Atkin, former junior elite swimmer, entrepreneur, author, and host of the Achieving Success podcast.

Olivia tells us about her passion for swimming that began early on, the medical issue that caused her transition out of sports, and her advice for moving forward when the time for transition comes.

Share your advice for current athletes preparing for the next chapter.

"You love your sport. You're not ready to fully leave your sport. Look at, what within your sport has made you so passionate? What is your why within it? What is the impact it has had on you that you would like to pay forward? It's not looking at the next step as closing a door on your old journey, it's looking at the next step as adding value to what you've already been building...Your sport was your block to learning a lot of different tools and resources along the way."
