Who Am I After Sports?

Many athletes grow up wanting to be a star - Michael Jordan, Mia Hamm, Michael Phelps, Cheryl Miller, Hussain Bolt, or Lionel Messi. As they journey through sports, their athletic identity strengthens. They get used to the attention, influence, and confidence that comes from being an athlete. The challenge is that all athletes, whether amateur or seasoned, will have to transition out of sports, many unprepared and ill-equipped to deal with their new life. Who Am I After Sports will help you: - Discover why athletic transition is so difficult, and why some commonly suggested solutions don't produce long-term fulfillment - Learn effective tools and strategies that will help you overcome common challenges facing athletes in transition - Develop beliefs, systems, and resources that will help you build a life you love more than your life as an athlete. Darryll Stinson, a TEDx speaker, business coach, former athlete, and suicide survivor submits a bold theory about athletic transition - the best days of an athlete's life, no matter how successful, are always ahead of them. This book shares Darryll's personal story as well as Second Chance Athletes' signature Transition Roadmap that helps athletes find a new identity and purpose to build a career and/or business they love.
