"It doesn't seem like anything will ever be able to fill that empty void once you're done playing sports."
For an athlete's whole life they have had a road map to success. From the first day that they decided they were going to be a professional athlete and every day forward, they knew what they needed to do in order to get where they wanted.
They were never driven by money but a raw passion for something they fell in love with. When it's all done what happens next? Do they pretend like nothing ever happened? Or worse, they decide they just want to be normal.
It doesn't have to be that way! An athlete has a special mindset. For 15+ years they committed their life to become elite at something that never had a guarantee of paying off. They found a way to separate themselves and be categorized as elite.
Few people can say that they blindly and relentlessly pursued a dream of theirs for 15+ years. We've already done it once. Athletes, it's time to do it again.
