The Athlete Struggle To Transition To Life After Sports

[KAYOtwentytwo]

this is real af. i just finished playing 4 years of d1 ball after pro ball not working out. feel like idk who i am or that i really matter anymore. the feeling of truly being alone with your thoughts and yourself is more than ever. this needs to be talked about more, once the camera and lights go away you feel like no one sees you anymore.

So True I was an elite amateur boxer and was waiting to go pro out of the sudden I had to deal with anxiety and depression and made me quite but I’m better than ever but at times I’m like what’s Next, I also get pretty speechless when people tell me hows the boxing going But we all have to Evolve at one point Stay strong 💪🏽

I feel Fukin bad for stopping my sport. I thought about it for the last year now. I play it since I’m 6 and now I’m 16. I cant walk for like two days after every game and I fucked my shoulder already. I‘m scared of stopping but now I spoke to my coaches and made the decision to stop. The sport is a constant for me, like an anker in life. It’s gonna be hard to find something like this again. Thanks for this vid.

man, I just won yesterday a medal on hammer throw on my last year in college and since I'm finishing college, idk what to do next, been doing this for a long time and is hard for me to leave it, Is part of me, I wanna continue cause I'm 23 and young for this sport, but where I'm from is really hard to get support by the federation and is frustrating for athlete who are making progress in this sport, I really don't know what to do...

how to you handle it being ended abruptly due to injury? I was injured in a mens league game before heading overseas, then covid hit. Covid caused so many financial issues I couldn’t keep pursuing my dream. I never had closure, and I fight myself every day knowing I could still go play

Whatever, atheletes attract people because of their body and then find a job and make a living.
