Episode description

Why is the retirement transition so difficult?

  • Basic biology of an endorphin crash
  • Athletes die twice
  • Driving purpose in life fades away
  • Battle with perfectionism

How can we navigate through it?

  • Celebrate
  • Grieve the death of your identity 
  • Closure
  • Volunteer
  • Break the curse of perfectionism

*These are just a handful of cherry-picked topics related to the retirement transition. For my full analysis of why entering post-sport life is so challenging stay tuned for our book later this year.
