The Sweet Spot Joi a Walker

As athletes, we all go through it, but for some reason, no one is really talking about it. Life after sports can be a dark and confusing place as we attempt to figure out who we are without sports. What are you supposed to do with your life when your athletic career comes to an end? For years the majority of your self-confidence came from the fact that you were physically gifted and had the ability to compete among the elite. At some point athletes must realize that they are good for more than just making three-point shots, scoring goals, hitting home runs, and catching touchdown passes. The Sweet Spot: Finding Purpose In Life After Sports will help current student-athletes, former athletes, coaches, and even administrators make the transition to life after sports a little smoother. In this book, athletes will learn how to redefine themselves and how to take the lessons they learned from sports and apply them to their careers. They will also encounter the stories of many former athletes who have been in their shoes and successfully made the transition. Many student-athletes never pause to consider what life will be like once their playing career comes to an end. The truth is there will come a time when life no longer revolves around game day, practice, film sessions, team meetings, and long bus rides. Once you can no longer compete at a high level, will you be ready to attack your career and thrive as you chase your new dream or will you be like a deer caught in headlights? The choice is up to you. Are you ready to discover The Sweet Spot in your life?
