On this episode of Alumni Direct's show "ATHLETES TO ENTREPRENEURS: The Alumni Journey," we talk to Erika Fay, former water polo player, marathon runner, therapist and coach.

Erika shares about the health challenges that she had prior to playing sports, and how her sport helped her get her health back.

Erika's advice to athletes to help them establish an identity outside of sports:

"How else do you define yourself besides being an athlete? What else is important to you? Look at what your qualities and skills are, not just academically, but what people tell you you're good at, or what you're doing in your sport. All of those are actually transferrable skills, and I think getting an awareness of that can be one of the foundations for looking at the bigger question of who am I, really?"
