This is a recording from a live event hosted by Jonathan Orr (atscorp.org) on October 11, 2020 Jonathan is the founder of ATS (Athlete Transition Services) and someone I admire greatly. When I first started my mission to help former athletes transition into life after sports in 2018, Jonathan was one of the first people I reached out to for advice.  He's become a great mentor to me over the years,...

When Jason reached out to me on LinkedIn, I could tell he was a special dude. As a recent graduate, Jason had big plans of breaking into the sports broadcasting industry until both of his internships were cancelled due to COVID-19. So what did Jason do? Instead of feeling sorry for himself, he launched "The Sideline Rush" podcast to interview current and former athletes.  Instead of waiting for an...

Former Michigan track-star Khoury Crenshaw felt like he lost part of himself when his track career was over. For the first time in his life, Khoury had no tangible goals, no vision for his future, and no passions or interests to fill the void that track left behind. He describes the transition process as being “thrown out into the world, left to figure everything out on your own.” In this client i...

Have you ever been around someone who constantly said things like: “I’m bored’ or “This is boring”? Some of you may have been stuck inside with these people while quarantined. I don’t know about you, but I can’t stand being around “bored” people. Boredom usually stems from not having big enough dreams, visions, or goals to go after. When we cultivate a bigger vision for our lives, and the type of...

When former Saint Mary’s basketball player Danielle Mauldin came back from playing overseas, she felt completely lost.  For the first time in her life, Danielle had no tangible goals, no vision for her future, and no passions or interests to fill the void that basketball left behind.  In this client interview, Danielle and I dive deep into the process of discovering (and rediscovering) the talents...

Like many athletes after their careers, Mac struggled to find ways to apply his “go-getter” mindset to everyday life. In this interview, we talk about the process of discovering (and rediscovering) talents, skills, and passions to help us create our next chapter while in transition.

Recently I found myself slipping back into an unhealthy pattern of “trying to handle everything on my own.” This was something that plagued me back when I was in the process of discovering who I wanted to be besides “Taj the football player.” The difference this time around, is that I’m able to snap myself out of the “funk” a lot quicker than I could back then. Unfortunately, my ability to quickly...

Starting today, I refuse to let people complain in my presence for more than 30 seconds. (This includes me complaining to myself in my own head 😂) When that 30 seconds is up, it’s time to start talking about solutions. The only person who can change the things we’re complaining about is the person looking back at us in the mirror. Stop blaming the government, stop blaming “The Man”, and let’s get...

No one in their right mind would sit on the couch all day, eat junk food, and expect to be in amazing shape. Yet some of us fill our minds with “junk food” every day, and still expect to live amazing lives. Believe me, I know how easy it is to get sucked into the vortex of mindless reality shows and endless memes. But what we allow into our minds (either consciously or subconsciously) will ultimat...

Have you ever thought about what people will say about you at your funeral? Whenever I start working with someone who’s experiencing a bad case of “short-term mentality” (more about that in the full video), I ask them a simple, yet complex question: "How do you want to be remembered?" Many of us former athletes are so desperate to attach our identities to something, that we take any job we can get...
