About this episode:

A conversation about going from youth soccer player to CEO of AthMindset and host of the Athlete Mindset podcast

“The things I’m doing give me energy. I’m able to use my time more productively and intentionally when I have things I’m working on that mean a lot to me, that are my purpose, and that are meaningful.” -Lisa Bonta Sumii

Advice to current athletes about preparing for a transition out of sports.

“I find that those who have the healthiest, most positive experience transitioning out of their sport have other identities that they’ve already developed, and feel good about and proud of before they leave their sport.” -Lisa Bonta Sumii
