There are many things that athletic organizations are responsible for and should do for their athletes, making sure their lives are good after they retire or finish isn't one of them. I may be in the minority on this, but it's your responsibility to make sure you are living a life you are thrilled to live. I heard something interesting the other day that went like this "Life is either an adventure you get to go on or a trial you have to endure."

The end of sport is sometimes uncertain and you shortly realize that it's either an adventure or a trial. You get to decide that though. It's up to you. There are some things that you can do take this into your own hands. Listen closely to see how you can use the ideas for your current situation.

It seems like there is some badge of honor that you get if you declare yourself "self-made". If you read any autobiography or talk to someone that has been even moderately successful, you will find that it took strategic relationships to accomplish it. That isn't to take anything away from their hard work, but they had someone in their corner. 

In this episode you will learn:

1. The difference (in my opinion) between networking and relationship building. 
2. Why building a relationship is more fruitful than networking. 
3. The various ways you can build relationships over the course of your playing career.  

No matter what you call it, the key is to get to know people in a way that leave a nice memory for them. When they think of you, hopefully they think of someone that can be perfect for the job.

Athletes and people that work with them always say that they don't have time to think about anything else. I get it, you're busy, but it's totally doable. If people are getting PhD's and actively playing, it's not time that's the issue. It's how you're using it.
