Holiday Reflections

You are not the darkness you endured. You are the light that refuses to surrender.

As we step into the holiday season,

💐 Please remember to be kind and patient—our world is steeped in pain, hurt, and chaos. Each of us is navigating our path, often facing challenges unknown to others.

🤳 Check-in on those around you—loved ones, colleagues, and network. The holidays can stir emotions; a simple message or call can go a long way.

👟 Place a premium on your well-being. The perpetual challenges of COVID, seasonal illnesses, heightened stressors, economic/political uncertainties, and extreme weather take a toll. Prioritize rest, movement, and staying hydrated. Be mindful of what you put into your body and where you expend your energy.

🧘‍♂️ Carve out moments of stillness and find time to unplug and be present.

⌛ There is more to life than work. Taking time to recharge and enjoy time with loved ones can help you find clarity and achieve your business goals.

🌟 We cannot create a healthy world if we ourselves are not healthy.
Be intentional with your time, reach out when you need help, and take breaks.

Be well and stay hopeful this holiday season.

Resources for Elite Athletes Transitioning Careers

A year ago, I asked my network for recommendations on coaches specializing in elite athletes and transitions.

I had a few responses but nothing really hit what I was looking for and ended up going on an exploration to find the practices, tools and guidance I was seeking. Here’s what I’ve discovered so far (will update overtime):

Athlete Soul – an independent support solution for retiring athletes.
Their mission is to support athletes as they transition away from sports, raise awareness about the challenges of athletic retirement, and empower athletes to develop beyond sports.
They support athletes before, during and after their transition with educational resources, transition and career coaching, and networking opportunities.
