On this episode of Alumni Direct's show "ATHLETES TO ENTREPRENEURS: The Alumni Journey," we talk to Jennifer Leachman LaPoint, a Hall of Fame professional water skier and the founder of COMPETE.
Jennifer is a serial entrepreneur with over 50 years of experience in the sports world. Before getting into professional water skiing, Jennifer played Division I basketball at Ga Tech.
On the difficulty of transitioning out of sports:
"If you've grown up and you've been playing sports since you were 8, your identity is "Athlete". And then maybe you play in high school, maybe college, maybe pro, and you may age out... and then you're really left with this emotional hole- this was your identity; what do you fill it up with?"
