Sets For Life

We have turnover in every industry but in the realm of competitive athletics the shakeout is athletic turnover. You constantly have athletes coming in and out of the athletic industry. As an athlete every single one of us will be a product of the shakeout at some point in time.

Being an elite athlete can be a gift and a curse. We have to have laser vision. In order to make it to the college or professional ranks you have to be locked in. Often times we don't put enough energy and effort into preparing for life after sport.

Once we enter life after sports we have to play catch up to other individuals who didn't have basketball or football as their primary identity. When its time to transition out we often haven't taken the time to assess what else we are good at. The game doesn't last forever but we view it as if it does. At some point the love affair comes to an end. Will you be prepared?

As athletes we are trained to never show any weakness. We are taught that if we show any emotion our competitor will take advantage of us. We grow accustomed to being super heroes on stage but once ball is over many athletes find themselves alone and depressed. Because of our pride and our beliefs many former athletes refuse to ask for the help they need to figure out what's next.

It is important for athletes to re-establish their identity once their playing days come to an end. For many of us being an athlete is our primary identity. It's how we see ourselves and it's how others see us.

In this episode featuring Lee Rubin we discuss a number of topics that will help athletes at every level as they navigate life after sport. As athletes we have the ability to thrive under pressure but we are often ill equipped to recognize and articulate the soft skills we have that will allow us to be assets to various organizations.

As athletes navigate life and attempt to figure out next steps its important to pay attention to the things people constantly compliment you on. Those compliments reveal your gifts and talents that could very well lead you to discovering what could possibly be your next craft.

If you look at a track and field team you will see a group of different people who all bring different gifts to the team. The throwers are usually larger in stature and stronger. The pole vaulters typically don't have that same strength and size. If a thrower tried to compete in the pole volt it would probably put them at a disadvantage based on their body type.

All of us have innate talents and skills that allow us to do certain things well. We mess up when we try to copy the next person instead of being true to ourselves. We have to figure out were to operate and how to maximize our gifts. When we play our role not just in sports but in life, everyone wins.

This week's episode features special guest Shamira Rothmiller
