What they don’t tell you to prepare for after Sports….
Confused On Your Purpose
Every workout, game, practice up until you retired had purpose behind it
A unique mission
Whether it was to be a state champ, your team to make it to the playoffs, your team to get a title
It was VERY Clear on why you were working so hard
So when thats taken away, which feels like it happened literally overnight
You start to question…fuck “what is my purpose with my body”
“What is the Mission Now” and a lot of ex-athletes end up dealing with depression because they keep trying to think of that next mission or new thing in their lives
Stop Thinking of the Next “Mission”
YOU ARE THE NEXT MISSION….
You’ve been making sports your priority your whole life, but you haven’t developed a healthy relationship with food yet, you haven’t been able to go to the gym without relying on a crutch
Your Purpose Now is to Learn How to function for yourself !!
So heres 3 steps to to start becoming independent and making your Health a Priority not a Chore
Start to make yourself the Mission, there doesn’t always have to be a “Next Thing” there can sometimes be a period where you do focus on yourself and thats exactly how you’re going to become that best version of you, moving forward.
