Transitioning out of athletics was one of the hardest things I’ve ever faced. I struggled with my identity, my purpose, and how to figure out what was next. If you’re a former athlete going through the same thing, you’re in the right place. I get it—feeling stuck, wondering who you are now, and trying to find what your professional career is. On this channel, I’m sharing everything I’ve learned from

If I had to start my life after sports over, I'd do this - Kendall Martin

What happens when your sports career ends and you're left staring at a blank future? Kendall Martin knows this feeling all too well. In this raw conversation, we dive deep into the reality that hits when the cheering stops. Most athletes spend their entire lives focused on one thing - their sport. But what comes next when injuries force you out or when retirement becomes inevitable? Kendall opens up about the mental battles that follow. The identity crisis. The depression. The feeling like you've lost your purpose overnight. But here's what makes this different - Kendall doesn't just talk about the problem. He shares exactly what he'd do if he had to start over again after sports. You'll discover: - The biggest mistake athletes make when planning their post-sports life - Why mental health struggles hit harder than the physical injuries - The one thing Kendall wishes someone had told him before retirement - How to rebuild your identity when sports defined everything about you This isn't your typical "everything will be fine" conversation. We get real about the dark moments. The times when getting out of bed feels impossible. When you question everything you thought you knew about yourself. But we also talk about hope. About finding new purpose. About the skills you developed as an athlete that can serve you in ways you never imagined. If you're an athlete facing retirement, dealing with career-ending injuries, or supporting someone who is - this conversation will hit different. Kendall's honesty about his journey might just be the perspective you need. The transition from sports doesn't have to destroy you. It can transform you. But only if you know what steps to take. Watch to learn what Kendall would do differently and how you can apply these lessons to your own journey beyond sports. #sportsretirement, #athletementalhealth, #lifeaftersports, #sportsinjuries, #athletetransition, #mentalhealthawareness, #retiredathlete, #sportspsychology, #careerending, #athleteidentity

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
