On this episode of Alumni Direct's show "ATHLETES TO ENTREPRENEURS: The Alumni Journey," we chat with Trent Clark, former college baseball and tennis player, MLB coach, and entrepreneur.
Trent talks with us about his journey growing up playing sports, overcoming "not-enough-ness", and going on to coach 3 winning baseball games in the World Series.
Trent's thoughts on athletes' transferrable skills:
"There are a bunch of skills that you as an athlete have that can take you to the next level of any career, entrepreneurship...anything that gets you ahead, and I think kids miss that."
Trent's advice to current athletes preparing for a transition out of sports:
"Make a list of the 5 people who can help you, who have been and done what you are doing and you admire them. The people who are most successful...very rarely do people call them up and ask them for their help, especially a young and talented person."
Trent's thoughts on success:
"The most successful people in the world have faced adversity along the way. I've never seen the mountain with the smooth steps all the way up, right? Where does that exist?"
