Job-Centric Identities: You Are More Than Your Career

Most athletes are passionate and wholly dedicated. The life they lead involves an incredibly high work ethic coupled with countless unappreciated sacrifices along the way – all geared towards peak high-performance with a goal of winning!

In the realm of athlete transition, it's evident that many sporting organisations often overlook the crucial aspect, leading to significant distress among athletes.

“So, what are you going to do when you retire?"

This inquiry merely scratches the surface, often resulting in athletes being nudged toward a new career path without genuine introspection. Little attention is given to the athlete as a human being; instead, there's a reiteration of their job-centric identity, a pitfall many people endure (not only athletes).

The consequence? Grappling with profound misery, a sense of emptiness, and a loss of direction.

Who are you, fundamentally?

What do you desire for your life and your family?

What ignites your passion?

What vision do you hold for your future?

These are questions that can help kick-start your efforts in establishing who you really are.
