Description
Welcome to the No Former Athlete Podcast, where we explore the challenges retired athletes face as they transition from sports to a new identity. Most athletes spend more time retired than playing, often feeling lost and confused. It's not about sports.
Hosts Erin McGinnis and Alex Gasaway delve into the emotional hurdles of leaving competitive sports. Through personal stories and insights, they discuss the search for new validation and maintaining confidence and purpose.
Tune in as we highlight these hidden challenges and reshape life after sports.
