Feeling like you're going in circles, paddling but not really getting anywhere? You're not alone! We all find ourselves stuck in life's eddies at some point.

Athletes are often celebrated for their incredible skill, determination, and performance under pressure. But what happens when the spotlight dims, and it's time to move from cleats to corporate? For many, this transition is challenging, partly because they've tied their self-worth to their athletic performance. This mindset, known as a performance-based identity, is not just risky on the field, but can also be a stumbling block as you pivot into a business career.

Think of your mindset as your favorite pair of glasses. You're viewing the world through these lenses, and your experiences, beliefs, and attitudes color them. And yes, just like glasses, sometimes they need a good clean.

Adaptability is the capacity to be flexible and adjust your thoughts or actions when faced with new situations, challenges, or opportunities. It's not about avoiding difficulties; it's about facing them head-on with a toolkit of strategies to come out victorious.

80% of what we say to ourselves is negative and what to do to change it!

Let's get real. Change can be scary. It's like that moment you're on the diving board, looking at the pool below, unsure of what will happen when you jump. What if you belly flop? What if the water's too cold? But here's a mindset shift: What if you don't jump? You'll never experience the thrill of diving, the freedom of the water, or the new perspectives that come from taking a risk.

I am an imposter!

Change is like a rollercoaster—thrilling, unpredictable, and, yes, a little scary. But just like a rollercoaster, it's an experience you'll remember. It's the very thing that makes life exhilarating. If rollercoasters aren't your thing, don't worry; the safety bars are down, and we're in this ride together!

Transitioning from athlete to business professional is a challenging but rewarding journey. By harnessing the power of your athlete brand, mastering the art of networking, and embracing new skills, you can seamlessly pivot from the field to the business world. Your determination, discipline, and resilience as an athlete have prepared you for this next chapter. So, go ahead and score big in the game of business – your future self will thank you for it!

The Power of Awe and Wonder

I took some time out to go for a bike ride and came across a deer grazing in the woods. I thought I would stop and record this as it struck me how much I was in Awe and Wonder in that moment. Not just because of the deer but also because of how beautiful it was.

The myth we are sold about success

"Success is not final; failure is not fatal: It is the courage to continue that counts." -- Winston S. Churchill

The power of the voices in our head

As we navigate our professional journeys, we must remember the power of our internal narrative. The thoughts and beliefs we hold about ourselves and our abilities can shape our actions and ultimately determine our success.
