Why EX-athletes don’t feel like themselves after sports..
Looking in the mirror you don’t see you anymore
You feel peoples eyes on you when your out
Its uncomfortable to be in your own skin now
What bothers you is that you used to be active
You were this athlete that used to be committed
That could show up to practice, weekend games
But now that job took over when sports finished
You started making small excuses to skip on workouts and now your stuck
You feel tired all the time now
You go home and grab your beer and sit on the couch cause you “don’t have the energy”
I’ve been there where I felt like I had no energy to go
Where I felt like I had more in me but I wasn’t performing at my 100%
So here are 5 Secrets to start feeling like yourself again:
Having a gym routine, you need structure in your life as an athlete, no more random workouts. Go to the gym 3 times a week. Monday, Wednesday, Friday. Make these Full Body sessions
Go to the gym at the same time everyday. Go either after work or before work consistently on those days off.
Eat WHOLE food sources. Chicken breast, top round steak, whole eggs, egg whites, rice, potatoes, veggies, etc. This will allow us to have higher energy levels throughout the day. Eat at the sometimes everyday.
Make a Non negotiable list. Workout needs to be hit, Whole Foods needs to be eaten, etc. You had no choice for practice you HAD to show up, no negotiating something here.
Get around some positive people who want to make this a reality. Stop hanging around people who are brining you down and are making excuses. You won games, cause everyone else wanted to win. Start getting that CHAMPION MINDSET BACK!Now your feeling like yourself again
You can look at yourself in the mirror again and feel proud
Now when you go out you don’t have this anxiety of people looking at you
