In Episode 3 of After The Game, we sit down with former Piedmont basketball point guard, current grad student, and athletic trainer, Nae Nae Eades, for a real and reflective conversation about identity beyond performance.

As a former point guard, Nae Nae understands the pressure of leadership, expectations, and living game to game. Now stepping into new roles beyond the court, she shares what it looks like to separate who you are from what you do — and how to build confidence and purpose that aren’t tied to stats, wins, or recognition.

We talk about transitioning out of a playing career, navigating changing seasons of life, balancing ambition with self-worth, and discovering an identity that isn’t shaken by performance.
