Thrive After Sports w/ Taj Dashaun: Recent Episodes
Taj Dashaun
I help athletes discover their new identity and life's direction after sports. I believe that what drove us in athletics, still drives us now. All it takes is a little guidance, and a push in the right direction.
It's become my personal mission to reach out and help others overcome the fear, frustration, and uncertainty associated with life post-athletics.
The question to ask oneself after hanging up the jersey isn’t: “who am I now?” The question is: “who do I want to become, and why?”
Ryan, along with Taj Dashaun, founder of Thrive After Sports Life, peel back the layers of the athletic mindset, sharing their own pivots from competitive play to carving out new professional identities. Their dialogue illuminates the critical steps in crafting a 'second act' that's as fulfilling as the first. Whether you're a former athlete or someone seeking to channel your drive and passion into a new vocation, this conversation promises to shed light on the beauty of reinvention.
With a football journey that drove him to drugs, depression, and a blurred vision of life beyond College football, Taj now turns out to be the solace and guidance he lacked at his corner during his second wind. Therein he founded Thrive After Sports, a holistic one-on-one program for retired athletes that is driven by the simple but transformative mission of equipping athletes with the tools to thrive in life after sports. He goes beyond helping players find jobs and start businesses to help them find fulfillment in every area of their lives.

The motivation behind launching Thrive after sports

Challenges faced during his college football career and their impact on his resilience and coping strategies

Have you ever heard these myths about post-sports life? Myth #1: You don't need guidance, you'll figure it out on your own. Myth #2: Mentors are only for beginners, not for seasoned individuals. Myth #3: Accountability is unnecessary, you can hold yourself to high standards. In this episode, we have Taj Dashaun to debunk these myths and share the truth about the value of having a coach or mentor for guidance, knowledge, and accountability in the transition from athlete to life after sports.
In this episode, you will be able to:
- Discover how to transition from sports to creating your own path and find fulfillment outside of the game.
- Gain clarity and direction by asking yourself, "What do I want my life to look like?" instead of just pursuing jobs or money.
- Embrace the transition as an opportunity for creativity and personal agency, allowing you to shape your life in a way that brings you joy.
- Unlock the power of having a coach or mentor who can provide guidance, knowledge, and accountability as you navigate your post-sports journey.
- Learn how to leverage your sports background to find success in other areas and establish your identity beyond the world of athletics.
Meet Taj Dashaun, an accomplished author, former athlete, and host of his own podcast. He joins me on this episode of The Shark Effect to share his insights and experiences on navigating life after sports. Taj understands the challenges athletes face when transitioning out of their athletic careers, as he went through it himself. After college, Taj didn't make it to the NFL and found himself feeling lost and uncertain about his future. However, this setback became the catalyst for his journey of self-discovery and personal growth. Taj now dedicates his time to helping other athletes successfully transition into life after sports through his coaching and mentorship programs. With his firsthand experience and passion for assisting others, Taj brings a wealth of knowledge and guidance to this episode. Get ready to be inspired by his story and gain valuable insights into finding your own path beyond sports.

ABOUT MARINA
Marina is the author of Becoming a Superhero: Awaken Your Superpowers and Elevate the Lives of Others (April 2021), and founder of Women’s Sports Apparel company, SPRHRA (April 2022). Marina’s story is about learning how to find connection with herself, in the face of darkness. As a College Freshman on the Top 20-ranked Georgetown University’s Women’s Division 1 Soccer Team, Marina almost lost her scholarship and went to rehab for depression and eating disorders. She then became the team’s first-ever 3-time Team Captain.
Taking the principles from her book, Marina set out to create SPRHRA, an athletic brand for female athletes. Marina is on a mission to eliminate the restriction placed on female athletes, by creating a community, brand, and apparel that gives female athletes the Freedom to Perform. Throughout her playing career and thereafter, Marina realized a gap in sports apparel for female athletes. There was no sports apparel brand built for how female athletes play, move, and live. Marina wanted to curate female athlete apparel towards an unprecedented quartet: high-performance, precision, swagger, and freedom for female athletes’ bodies.
SPRHRA is sustainably made in Los Angeles, CA and is built by female athletes who play each respective sport — i.e., soccer players inform soccer apparel. (Pronounced Super-hera).

Thomas Williams is an NFL Player Engagement Ambassador, author, speaker, and philanthropist.
Thomas works with athletes, students, and professionals challenging them to push beyond a mundane lifestyle and enter into a life of GREATNESS.
In 2008, after playing for USC, Thomas entered the NFL when he was drafted by the Jacksonville Jaguars.
As he played for the Jaguars, New England Patriots, Buffalo Bills and Carolina Panthers, Thomas mastered four principles that influenced his careers on and off the field: goal setting, leadership, accountability, and fostering winning team cultures. These principles are at the very core of his programs.
Only 1% of college athletes will go pro, but 100% of ALL athletes will retire. Thomas’ passion for helping college student athletes to see beyond the scoreboard comes from his personal journey as he transitioned from a successful football career to fulfilling his life’s purpose, motivating and encouraging others in transition.
He wants to instill in every student the understanding that greatness does not exist in the jersey, greatness exists in the athlete.

Episode description from keithsconiers.com:
In today’s episode, I talk to Taj Dashaun, the founder of Thrive After Sports a coaching company focused on helping athletes truly thrive in their life after sports. In our conversation, I talked to Taj about his journey as an athlete and how his life experiences, both wins and losses, inspired him to help athletes find their way after sports. I initially wanted to have Taj on the Athlete’s Journey podcast, but chose to host him on Purpose first because I want everyone to know about Taj and his purpose.

Transitioning Into Life After Sports with Taj Dashaun
Taj Dashaun is an athlete, husband, motivational speaker, podcast host, and the Vice President of Self-Publish in 30 days. He authored four excellent books, including Thrive after Sports and Athletes Entrepreneur, which seeks to help readers have a clear direction of where they want to go and work for their dreams with all diligence. Taj is a professional career coach who works with athletes transitioning into life after sports. Not only does he help athletes land jobs and start businesses, but he also helps them find fulfillment in every single area of their lives. His mission and passion are to reach out and help others overcome the fear, frustration, and uncertainty associated with life post-athletics.
In this special episode with Taj Dashaun, we'll learn about the journey of a man who almost lost himself in the sludge after encountering rejections and disappointments in life as an athlete. However, after several years of stumbling around in the emotional darkness of uncertainty, he began to take his eyes off of himself and focus on serving others. Today, he is inspiring our present generation with his journey. He also runs an intensive program for retired athletes struggling to adapt to life after sports.

Being an athlete transitioning out of your sport can be extremely difficult. This past weekend I had the pleasure of sitting down with Taj Dashaun to speak about the realistic journey of life after sports. Even if you didn't play a sport in college or professionally there are plenty of amazing gems for you to pick up from this episode.

When did networking become a game of trying to strategize and “leverage” people rather than building genuine relationships?
I know I’m not the only one who has an inbox full of impersonal, self-serving, copied and pasted messages.
It seems that many of us have forgotten that networking works best when it’s built on genuine, human connections.
I made this episode to share some networking tips for recently graduated student-athletes, but ultimately I’m hoping this will encourage us to be more authentic, and less calculated when reaching out to others.
I want to thank all of you that I’ve had the pleasure of connecting with over the past couple of years for our continued conversations, collaborations, and all-around support.

With the growing lack of life skills being taught, athletes are unequipped for adulthood which is causing major issues especially with mental health. We at 4D Athletes have developed online programs to better equip individuals for life both in and out of sports.
Check out this demo link on “The Power of a Positive Attitude” to see how we are helping athletes Win in the Game of Life!
Here is a demo link to view what a week of content looks like for 6th-12th graders: https://courses.4dathletes.com/courses/4d-athletes-24-week-demo-612
In this episode of the I Am A Champion show, the guys are joined by Coaches Steven McRoberts, and Taj Dashaun to discuss how we can thrive through transitions in both life and sports.
In 25 years as a collegiate head coach, including 17 at the Division I level, Steven McRoberts owns a 619-265 (.700) overall record with 23 winning seasons and 19 years with 20 or more victories. He ended the 2021 season ranked 19th among active Division I coaches in total victories and 26th in winning percentage.
A 10-time conference coach of the year, McRoberts’ teams have won a combined 13 conference regular season, tournament, and national postseason tournament titles. He has mentored a total of 20 All-Americans, 70 all-conference players, 11 conference players of the year, 12 Academic All-Americans, and 29 total specialty award winners at the conference level.
McRoberts came to Missouri State after a six-year tenure at Ole Miss, where he posted a 111-82 record and guided the Rebels to the 2017 National Invitational Volleyball Championship title, the first postseason national championship for any program in the school’s history.
He has also coached at the University of Tulsa, University of Central Arkansas, and Lubbock Christian University.
He has been married for 18 years to his lovely bride, Stacy, and they have three kids: Jackson (17), Mollie (14), and Nate (9)
Taj Dashaun is an Author, Speaker, and Athlete Transition Coach. When his football career ended, Taj struggled heavily with depression. Because he was so focused on the game, he never fully developed a clear vision for his life. After several years of stumbling around in the emotional darkness of uncertainty, Taj began to take his eyes off of himself and focus on serving others.
He now runs holistic programs for retired athletes who, like he once was, are struggling to adapt to life after the game. Not only does Taj help former players land jobs and start businesses, he helps them find fulfillment in every area of their lives. It's become his personal mission and passion to reach out and help others overcome the fear, frustration and uncertainty associated with life post-athletics. Taj is also the host of the Thrive After Sports podcast, which is available on all podcast platforms.

I'm reading from "The Secret of the Ages" by Robert Collier.
We’ll never be able to free ourselves from negative thoughts entirely, but we can always choose what to do with them when they come up.
It’s not about elimination, it’s about observing and replacing. It’s all about your bounce back time.

No one is happy 100% of the time.
Ups and downs are just part of the human experience.
We’ll never be able to free ourselves from negative thoughts entirely, but we can always choose what to do with them when they come up.
A great mentor once taught me to catch myself having negative thoughts, and replace them with better thoughts.
It’s not about elimination, it’s about observing and replacing. It’s all about your bounce back time.

In episode 13, Taj Dashaun of Thrive After Sports, joins me in the locker room to discuss his career as a Division 1 football player, misconceptions of football players, his mental health struggles after his football career ended and the myth of Black athletic superiority as well as other false, insidious and unacceptable theories that Black men of sport deal with.
Taj Dashaun is an author, motivational public speaker, and Athlete Transition Coach. When his football career ended, Taj struggled heavily with depression during a time where the vocabulary did not yet exist to discuss topics like this- especially for a Black, male athlete. Like many student-athletes, because he was so focused on the game, he never fully developed a clear vision for his life.
After several years of struggle, Taj began to take his eyes off of himself and focused on serving others. He now runs holistic programs for retired athletes who, like he once was, are struggling to adapt to life after the game. Not only does Taj help former players land jobs and start businesses, he helps them find fulfillment in every area of their lives. It has become his personal mission and passion to reach out and help others overcome the fear, frustration and uncertainty associated with life post-athletics.

We’d like to introduce you all to Shea Harrison aka “Butter”. Shea was born and raised in El Cerrito, CA which sits just 13 miles east of San Francisco and now resides in sunny San Diego. At 27 years old he is still as charismatic, energetic, and goofy as he was as a child except today he is truly in search of something he knows he wants; a career in music management and live events. Shea played baseball for 17 years all the way through Division III Willamette University in Salem, OR and hit a wall like many ex-collegiate athletes do once they graduate asking themselves questions like; Who am I without my sport? What do I want to do? How do I start? With some deep thought, self reflection, and the completion of an 8-week program with the owner of “Thrive After Sports” Taj Dashaun, he saw things a little more clearly. In this conversation between Taj and Shea you will be able to see how intentional thought, action, and a smile goes a long way in guiding one to their ultimate goal. We hope you enjoy.

*Copied from @dustymattison on Instagram:
@tajdashaun is an Athlete Transition Coach and host of the podcast Thrive After Sports.
His passion is helping athletes transition from their time wearing the jersey to the “career world”. He believes you need to process your experience as an athlete before you can start the work of figuring out your next steps.
Many athletes feel lost once they hang up their uniform, but having someone doing this important work makes a huge difference. It makes the transition a little less daunting.
Thank you Taj for all the amazing work you’re doing!

Many athletes dive into their life post-sports at full speed, without acknowledging the impact of the transition and end up burn-out and depressed a few years after retirement. We discuss the importance of taking the time to process and to teach balance post-sports.

lifeaftersports #thriveaftersports
There are a ton of athletes out there, maybe you're one of them, who have dedicated their life to their sport. They have spent hours physically training, practicing, studying film, etc. to optimize their potential to get to the highest level of what they do. Even when athletes do achieve the peak of their performance and get to the professional or Olympic level, their career does come to an end in their 30's or 40's. The issue with this is that after ALL this dedication, they still have decades of life left and for most athletes who make it only to the college level, they are stuck without a lot of other options besides going into the "real world". Unfortunately, in a lot of instances, athletes do not know what to do after sports. They have not thought of the future, they haven't been told to think of the future, and they are left without much direction.
This is exactly what Taj Dashaun helps athletes with and it's what we talk about on this podcast. We talk about creating new routines, finding your purpose, finding your new sport within life and how to kill it on a daily basis to win.

In this episode, we interview Taj Dashaun. Taj Dashaun is a former Division-1 college football player for Stony Brook University. When his football career ended, Taj struggled heavily with depression. Because he was so focused on the game, he never fully developed a clear vision for his life. After several years of stumbling around in the emotional darkness of uncertainty, Taj began to take his eyes off of himself and focus on serving others. He now runs an intensive program for retired athletes who, like he once was, are struggling to adapt to life after sports. Not only does Taj help former players land jobs and start businesses, he helps them find fulfillment in every area of their lives. It's become his personal mission and passion to reach out and help others overcome the fear, frustration and uncertainty associated with life post-athletics. Taj is also the host of the Thrive After Sports podcast.
Taj shares his transition secrets, what he's up to now and insights on how the best thrive after sports whether as an athlete entrepreneur or in the corporate space. We also talk about why every athlete should consider writing a book and what that means from a business and legacy perspective.

Juwan Rohan is a progressive entrepreneur from the Bay Area.
‘Progressive,’ meaning he is continuing to grow his businesses and learn so that he can OWN and not be owned.
Juwan graduated from Colorado College with a bachelor’s in Psychology and a minor in Spanish. He was a student- athlete who played four years on the basketball team for the Colorado College Tigers.
After graduating, Juwan worked the traditional 9-5 but was curious about how to build generational wealth. After tons of research, he knew that the stock market and real estate market was a common theme to wealth building. In order to invest, he knew he wanted more cash flow, so he started a few businesses; a Car Rental Company, Til Infinity Clothing, Real Estate Agent, Vallejo Prime Mobile Notary, Music, and The Misguided Podcast, with tons of other endeavors in the process as his book was being written.
Juwan noticed the lack of financial education from the school system, so today; he strives to guide people to a better future by teaching financial literacy.

Madeline Barlow, PhD, dedicated 14 years to the sport of swimming, leaving her with a deep understanding of the mental side of sport—from the most magical moments to the darkest disappointments. As a doctoral student in Exercise & Sport Psychology at Temple University, Madeline conducted research on athletic identity and the transition out of sport, two aspects of her swimming career that affected her long after she touched the wall of her final race.
Years later, on her personal healing journey, Madeline learned she was a highly sensitive person and has since recognized this trait in a majority of the individual athletes she supports as the mental performance coach for a Division I University.
Now, as the founder of Mind-Wise Mentoring LLC and with more than 20 combined years as an athlete, sport psychology professional, and seeker of personal growth, Madeline is the creator of The Mind-Wise Method, her signature mind-body healing program for athletes and high achievers. This program combines Reiki Energy Healing and Human Design with the support of mentoring as her clients learn to embody the magic of their true Self!

Danny White from www.MentalFitness.CARE sits down with Taj Dashaun, Athlete Transition Specialist and Business Coach to discuss Athlete Mental Health.
Taj's Story:
When I first stepped away from the game I love, I struggled heavily with depression. I had never fully developed a clear vision for my life after football. I knew I wanted to get a “good job,” make “a ton of money” and be “successful,” but I felt lost and overwhelmed having no idea what I wanted to do with my life.
There was constant chatter in my head:
"What's the best career path for me? Why am I not hearing back from any of these jobs I'm applying for? Should I go back to school for an MBA? Should I start my own business? How do I even start a business?"
After several years of stumbling around in the emotional darkness of uncertainty, I began to take my eyes off of myself and focus on serving others. I now run an intensive program for retired athletes who are struggling to adapt to life after sports.
It’s become my personal mission and passion to reach out and help others overcome the fear, frustration, and uncertainty associated with life post-athletics. I am also the host of the Thrive After Sports podcast, which is available on all platforms.

Dartanyon Crockett was born in inner-city Cleveland, OH. Raised in a neighborhood filled with consistent violence, Dartanyon managed to maintain unconditional compassion toward others. In high school he crossed paths with a young man by the name of Leroy Sutton who shared this virtue. The power and beauty of their friendship managed to resonate across the world, thanks to the help of ESPN producer, Lisa Fenn. Who eventually became a part of their unlikely family.
The airing of their 2009 documentary “Carry On” aided Dartanyon in pursuing a career as a U.S. Paralympian in the sport of judo. As a Paralympic athlete Dartanyon also began to build a career in inspirational speaking. Dartanyon’s speaking career has led him to pursue knowledge and insight from the fields of social work, sociology, as well as education.

It’s no secret that athletes make great entrepreneurs.
The skills we acquired during our years of competition prepared us for the intense level of discipline, personal development, and follow-through that it takes to win in entrepreneurship.
"Athlete to Entrepreneur" is an online event for athletes to come together and share their entrepreneurial journeys with the world.
The goal is to educate, impact, and inspire current and former athletes to think outside of the box, become change agents for the communities they serve, and carve out a new lane for themselves post-sport.

Today I'm joined by Athlete Transition Specialist, Keynote Speaker, Coaching Consultant and Author Justin Brown.
Justin Brown is a former professional athlete. He attended both Penn State University as well as the University of Oklahoma, where he excelled as a Wide Receiver and Punt Returner. Following a breakout season at Oklahoma, he was selected in the 6th round of the 2013 NFL Draft to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
While he was with the Steelers, he was challenged by his teammate (All Pro Wide Receiver) Antonio Brown, to find his identity away from being an athlete. After three season ending injuries in a row, Justin was forced to transition from football to the real world where he found himself battling depression, fear, and anxiety.
Transforming his life, Justin is now a Athlete Transition Specialist, Keynote Speaker and Coaching Consultant. His programs assists many individuals and groups in transitioning throughout different stages in their lives while remaining true to their authentic selves and strengths.

A part of Bryant Lavender died with his father’s passing. The 13-year-old said his goodbyes to his father at the funeral but what he didn’t lay to rest was the promise he’d made to his dad. He turned to God for affirmation and courage but he had to face some giants on his road to promise: Responsibility, negativity, doubt from people in his circle. And he had to learn how to get out of his own way to walk into his purpose.
He shares his run with life through his football experience, teaching the wisdom he gleaned and encouraging others to burst through the barriers.

Cory Camp grew up a swimmer, and for 18 years of his life, that's all he really knew. Upon graduating and his sports career ending, Cory realized that he wasn't prepared for this whole "real life" thing. A year went by and he found himself lost, 40 pounds heavier than when graduated. That was the turning point for him and the moment he knew he needed to get his S*%^ together.
He's spent every moment since turning his life around and reintroducing purpose and intention to it. Through fitness, lifestyle choices, and more, he's figured out a system that works to optimize life. Now he's passionate about helping other former athletes find their optimal plan.

Thomas Williams is an NFL Player Engagement Ambassador, author, speaker, philanthropist and Adjunct Professor at USC.
Thomas works with athletes, students, and professionals challenging them to push beyond a mundane lifestyle and enter into a life of GREATNESS
In 2008, after playing for the University of Southern California Trojans, Thomas entered the National Football League when he was drafted by the Jacksonville Jaguars.
As he played for the Jaguars, New England Patriots, Buffalo Bills and Carolina Panthers, Thomas mastered four principles that influenced his careers on and off the field: goal setting, leadership, accountability, and fostering winning team cultures. These principles are at the very core of his programs.
Only 1% of college athletes will go pro, but 100% of ALL athletes will retire. Thomas’ passion for helping college student athletes to see beyond the scoreboard comes from his personal journey as he transitioned from a successful football career to fulfilling his life’s purpose, motivating and encouraging others in transition.
He wants to instill in every student the understanding that greatness does not exist in the jersey, greatness exists in the athlete.

Joe Hawley played Offensive Line in the NFL for 8 seasons with both the Atlanta Falcons and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. In 2017, after realizing his heart, and body, just weren't in it anymore, he decided to walk away. This decision left him feeling a wide array of emotions, leaving the sport he spent his entire life playing, everything from loneliness to excitement, and without really knowing what to do next, he decided to explore his freedom for the first time.
That's when he decided to give everything he owned away to charity, bought a van and hit the road on a trip across the country that completely changed his life. He traveled for almost two years exploring places all over the country; amazing national parks, beautiful scenic roads and connecting with incredible like-minded people, but the most profound thing that happened to him during the entire experience - he found himself. Now, he’s on a journey to inspire others to find themselves, through his writing, speaking and coaching. He’s the Founder of The Härt Collective, an online community and group coaching program for former athletes, and is currently in the process of writing a book.

Misty Buck, author of the "Athlete Mental Health Playbook," is a certified Professional Life Coach (CPC), Spiritual Life Coach (CSC), and the owner of a marketing agency. Growing up as the coach’s daughter and a cheerleader, Misty spent countless hours in the world of sports and around athletes where she learned that your value was largely determined by your ability to be tough in any and every situation. Don’t cry. Don’t be a baby. Walk it off. However, as a shy and sensitive kid, Misty had extreme difficulty in dealing with various painful and traumatic events that occurred during her childhood and into her twenties. Her internal struggle with mental health eventually exploded, and she soon realized that her emotions were real no matter how much shame she felt for feeling them, and or how hard she tried to walk it off. She learned how to use a holistic mind, body, and soul approach to healing and daily living to cultivate inner peace and clarity. Today, her passion is guiding athletes to transformational peace and clarity through helping them focus on being a human, not just an athlete.

The goal is to educate, impact, and inspire current and former athletes to think outside of the box, become change agents for the communities they serve, and carve out a new lane for themselves post-sports.

Eugene D. Holloman is a former 2x all-conference running back at James Madison University. Growing up he had aspirations of playing professional football after college, but after two significant knee surgeries before his senior year, his plans were derailed. After graduating with a degree and pursuing a major simple enough to keep him eligible but that honestly disinterested him, Eugene quickly regretted not taking school more seriously. While some of his college buddies were off to corporate careers or entrepreneurship, Eugene spent the next four years in his parents’ home discovering his passions and what career path he wanted to pursue. Eugene enrolled in a master’s program to pursue his MBA while working as an elementary school tutor and sales rep for a high-end suit retailer. While not making enough money to pay for school, he eventually landed an entry-level job at a fortune 500 healthcare company. Soon thereafter, he applied and was hired to the company’s leadership development program.
Eugene is now a corporate compliance manager for the same company and is currently pursuing his doctoral degree at Regent University. He credits Regent University for helping him discover his passion for writing within just his first couple of semesters of attendance. While writing numerous research papers on leadership, Eugene decided to write his first fictional novel “The Athlete Student: Freshman Year.” His goal is to reach as many student-athletes and youth as possible in hopes that this story will benefit them, as Eugene believes having such an inspiring read would have been highly impactful when he was in high school.

Taj Dashaun, Vice President of Self Publish N 30 Days, is a former Division-1 college football player for Stony Brook University. Once his football career ended, Taj struggled heavily with depression. Because he was focused on the game, he never fully developed a clear vision for his life. After several years of stumbling around in the emotional darkness of uncertainty, Taj began to take his eyes off of himself and focus on serving others.
As an Athlete Career Transition Coach, he runs an intensive program for retired athletes who, like he once was, are struggling to adapt to life after sports. Not only does Taj help retired athletes land jobs and start businesses, he helps them find fulfillment in every single area of their lives.
It's become his personal mission and passion to reach out and help others overcome the fear, frustration, and uncertainty associated with life post-athletics. Taj is also the host of the Thrive After Sports podcast.

Harris is a Leadership & Mental Performance Coach in the Washington, DC area. Harris grew up in the DC area and graduated from Winston Churchill High School in 2010. Baseball has always played a huge role in his life, and he was drafted by the Washington Nationals as a LHP/1B in the summer of 2010, but instead decided to continue his baseball career at Lehigh University. While at Lehigh University, Harris got the yips and lost the ability to throw a baseball which was pretty devastating for his career. He decided to hang up the cleats in 2013, and dealt with years of identity issues until he was introduced to the field of coaching by Brian Levenson. Since having a life changing experience with a coach of his own, Harris received a Leadership Coaching for Organizational Performance Certificate from American University, and is making it his mission to help athletes regain confidence, make the best decisions possible, and live a happier and more fulfilled life. Harris has also been fully trained in Brian Levenson's CORE Mental Training program which focuses on the sports psychology skills athletes need to succeed.

Marlene “Marley” Holmes is a former Division 1 volleyball player who is now a Social Worker and Entrepreneur. She has mastered the art of utilizing her athletic training to adapt and contribute to social work and athletics successfully. While attending Bethune-Cookman University, she earned her Bachelor's degree in Sociology with a Social Work minor and completed her Master's degree at the University of Central Florida. Ms. Holmes currently attends Barry University as a third-year doctoral student in Social Work, focusing on black female collegiate athletes' lived experience. Throughout her postgraduate studies, she has presented at national conferences for social work professionals, professional athletes, scholars, and student-athletes. Additionally, she has organized numerous public speaking events for local high school athletes; she is also the recently honored recipient of the Doctoral Fellowship Award at Barry University. As Ms. Holmes' professional career within corporate America advanced, she quickly recognized the challenges that directly impact student-athletes, particularly student-athletes of color, once the sport concludes. She identified the lack of professional preparation and inadequate exposure to resources for athletes of color based on her journey. By creatively combining her passion for sports and social work background, she founded "The Black Female Collegiate Athlete Experience." The BFCA Experience focuses on the athlete's success beneath the jersey by providing tools that prepare, support, and motivate players, parents, and coaches beyond the game.

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 opportunity, he created one for himself by using his platform as a tool to do what he loves.

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 interview, Khoury and I discuss our time working together, and the obstacles he’s overcome during these past few months. His advice to former athletes in transition is to “try different things, and embrace failure as part of the process while carving out a new lane for yourself.” Be sure to check out the full interview on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/VmkhyNNpwvo Thanks for tuning in!

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 impact we want to make, it becomes nearly impossible to be bored Why? Because there’s always something we can be doing to help bring the vision to life. Next time you find yourself getting bored (before you go scrolling through Instagram or finding another show to watch), I invite you to stop, reflect, and ask yourself this question: “What’s one thing I could start doing for myself (and for others) that would have me excited to wake up out of bed every morning?” The closer you get to answering that question, the less boring life becomes.

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, skills, and interests that so often get overlooked or neglected during our time in athletics. Danielle gives some amazing advice to current/former athletes that you won’t want to miss!

The episode details below are copied directly from Tommy’s website, BlendingTheFamily.com Welcome to the podcast BLENDING THE FAMILY Are you doing well during this time? I really hope you are and if you need me I am here for you. In this episode, I am happy you came by to listen. My guest is the owner of "Thrive After Sports," Taj Dashaun and it is a needed topic as many of our youth athletes are not able to attend their sports. We not only speak about how we parents can help our kids with their dreams of being a professional athlete (if they choose) but just navigating through the college process as far as why a certain major might not fit your athletes' sport. What do you bring to the world? This turns out to be part of a discussion that I really want you to listen to because it can also deal with your relationships. You might need to have an adult conversation with your student-athlete but you might need to bring some humor along with honesty. Please be safe out there, live in gratitude and wash your hands.

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. I’ve really enjoyed working with Mac, and couldn’t be more proud of the man he’s developed into since we first connected back in 2018.

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 bounce back also enables me to justify not reaching out to others when I need help. So what happens when I'm not able to bounce back right away? I end up stuck in my old ways. Anybody else out there have “lone wolf” tendencies like me? Thanks for tuning in!

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 to work people.

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 ultimately determine who we become, and how we experience life. Good in = Good out. When nourished properly, our minds become powerful tools that propel us forward to create amazing lives. When fed "junk", our minds become nothing more than dead weight. Thanks for tuning in!

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 our hands on after hanging up the jersey. Sometimes we stay stuck in these roles, despite knowing they’re not a good fit. I’m not recommending that anyone become a serial job hopper like I used to be. I’m merely suggesting that we don’t settle, and put more effort into developing a clear picture for how we want the story of our lives to unfold. We all have more control over the narrative than we sometimes give ourselves credit for. I love you guys. Thanks for tuning in.

Former Mount Union basketball player Kyle Scelza is a prime example of transferring the athletic mindset into everyday life. When Kyle and I first connected, I could tell he was a go-getter. But like many former athletes, he didn’t have a clear picture of the life he wanted to build for himself post-sports. In this interview, Kyle and I discuss our time working together, and how he’s been able to lock in on his vision to create wealth for his family by investing in real estate. Kyle gives some great advice to current/former athletes that you won’t want to miss. Thank you to @hakvalles80 and @gopickjoe for stepping in and being a great resource for Kyle throughout this process. Your insight and words of encouragement have been invaluable.

I woke up out of my sleep at 3am last night to record this 😂 My mind was still running from the calls I had yesterday with former athletes who feel like they’re “running out of time” to “figure out their life.” I’ll share the same message with you, that I shared with them: It’s completely normal to feel lost sometimes. We've all had chapters in our lives when we had absolutely no idea what the f*** we were doing. The good news is: Being lost puts us into “discovery mode” and forces us to start asking ourselves questions. The fact that we’re even asking these questions means that we’re playing an active role in designing our futures. If you’ve been feeling a little lost lately, I’d like to encourage you to ask 3 people in your inner circle this question: “How do you envision me making a contribution to the world?” Write their answers down, and use their feedback as a way to bring more clarity around your life's direction. I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised by the answers you get. Thanks for tuning in!

Like many former athletes, Antoine resented the way his football career ended. Long after his playing days were over, he found himself struggling to bring the passion he had at wide receiver, into everyday life. In the full interview, Antoine and I dive into our time working together, and what he’s started building to uplift and empower others. His advice to former athletes is to be intentional about getting to know ourselves, and realize that we truly can find fulfillment after the game. I really enjoyed working with this guy, and couldn’t be more proud of how far he’s come in such a short period of time.

When did networking become a game of trying to strategize and “leverage” people rather than building genuine relationships? I know I’m not the only one who has an inbox full of impersonal, self-serving, copied and pasted messages. It seems that many of us have forgotten that networking works best when it’s built on genuine, human connections. I made this episode to share some networking tips for recently graduated student-athletes, but ultimately I’m hoping this will encourage us to be more authentic, and less calculated when reaching out to others. I want to thank all of you that I’ve had the pleasure of connecting with over the past couple of years for our continued conversations, collaborations, and all-around support.

Being “too proud” to ask for help is something that hindered my progress for years. I was caught in a vicious cycle of reaching out to people, only to blow them off or tell them “I’m fine” when they’d ask how I was doing. I was so afraid to look weak, that I burned bridges with the people who genuinely wanted to help me. Eventually I came to realize that my way of being wasn’t just impacting me, it was affecting everyone around me. It takes something to look ourselves in the mirror and say, “I don’t like what I see, I’m going to do something about it.” I hope this encourages you to do the same. Thanks for listening!

Let’s face it… Creating a better life is hard. This is why we all know people who have big dreams, but don’t put the work in to make those dreams become reality. One of the saddest things in the world is hearing the stories of people who gave up just before the miracle was about to happen. They’re forever left wondering “What if?” People who get results understand that there’s a huge difference between dreaming, and taking consistent action. If we don’t work for our dreams, do we really deserve them? Please check out the full video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3prNkGi0lho Thanks for listening!

If you’re reading this right now, this is a reminder that you have absolutely nothing to prove to anyone. While I think it’s important to have humility and take advice/feedback from others, I also know how important it is to take everyone’s opinion with a grain of salt. Something that’s been extremely impactful for me in recent years is acknowledging the fact that my time here on earth is limited. Keeping this in mind gives me a sense of urgency, and helps me make the most of every moment. Some people may think talking about death is morbid, but I choose to see it as a way to embrace life more fully, and to prevent others’ opinions from taking me too far off my path.

While the stakes are dramatically different, there’s no denying the similarities between the life of a soldier, and the life of an elite athlete. I’d like to thank Paul Edwards for inviting me on his show, and more importantly, for being vulnerable enough to share his experience transitioning out of the military after serving two tours in Iraq. We had a great conversation that I’m hoping will enable listeners to heal and grow. This episode is for anybody who’s afraid to admit that they’re hurting. Please know that asking for help doesn’t make us weak, it makes us stronger. Thank you for listening.

I’d like to share something for all my guys out there who may be struggling with women. I’m not a dating coach, but as a career coach for former athletes, I feel responsible for helping people improve every single area of their lives, including relationships. Single guys often tell me that they have trouble attracting women once they’re no longer playing sports at an elite level. Guys in relationships tell me that their partners don’t seem to be as “into them” as they were during their playing days. I think one of the main issues here is that some of us get complacent when we’re done playing sports. We settle into whatever job we can get, and use our partners as yet another way to fill the void left behind by the game. I learned the hard way that this "void" can never be filled by a partner if we’re not truly complete within ourselves. I believe the best way to fill the void is to find a new mission to pursue. It’s important for us to carve out a lane that lights us up the same way our sport did. I’d love to hear your thoughts on this!

Do you cheer for yourself the same way you cheer for your favorite teams? A few years ago, I realized that whenever I watched sports, I was showing up with a level of excitement and enthusiasm that I wasn’t bringing to my own life. Whether the teams I cheered for won or lost, it ultimately had zero impact on my future. Although I work with transitioning/retired athletes, there’s never been a time in my life when I’ve watched so little sports. In fact, I hardly watch TV at all. 99% of my focus is on putting up points in my own life. These days, I measure my “points” by how many lives I’ve impacted that day/month/year. How do you measure your points? Thanks for listening!

I consumed more alcohol in my first 2 years after college than I did during my entire 4 years on campus. I drank (and smoked, and isolated myself) because I felt like a failure. Not only was I ashamed of the way my football career turned out, I was also struggling to figure out what I was going to do next. As time went by, it became clear to me that I was going to have to stop trying to escape my reality, and start changing it. I’m not a rich man by any means (yet), but I can honestly say that I love the life I’ve created for myself today. I get to help others overcome the same internal battles that I was fighting just a few years ago. I recorded this video after a coaching call with one of my recently graduated student-athletes. We talked about the difference between a “reset” and an ”escape”. I figured the message would resonate with more than just former athletes, so I decided to share. Hope it inspires you to take action!

Former University of Richmond linebacker Justin Rubin came to me with a clear vision for his life after football. All he needed was a foot in the door. My time working with Justin wasn’t about teaching him anything new, it was about reminding him what he’s truly capable of off the field. In this interview, Justin touches on an important topic. It’s a message that I work very hard to get across to all former athletes: “Don’t wait for opportunities to come to you, create them.” Over the past few months, Justin has been able to make some powerful connections and open up doors for himself simply by putting himself out there and sharing his knowledge. He’s now well on his way to becoming a leader in student-athlete development, and ultimately an Athletic Director. Thank you Davonte Anderson for stepping in and being a great resource for Justin. Your input and connections helped me take Justin a lot further than I could have on my own.

Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 6am, Matt Mounier hosts “Unlocking Your Athlete Mindset” calls to help former athletes leverage our athletic mindset long after our playing days are over. A few weeks ago, Matt invited me on as a guest speaker to talk about having confidence in life after sports. One of my favorite things that Matt and I discussed was how confidence must be self-generated when we no longer have sports to attach our sense of self-worth to. My confidence came back once I started believing in what I was doing, and why I was doing it. The more I stayed close to things that inspired me and brought me fulfillment, the more success I seemed to have.

One of the many things I appreciate about Joi is that when it comes to helping former athletes, she’s always ready to talk solutions. On this episode, we took a deep dive into what it takes to effectively transition out of sports, and into the rest of our lives. Most of us have been conditioned to blindly chase money, and chasing money gets pretty old after a while. Sometimes we have to look at the path we’re on and ask ourselves, “Do I really like where I’m going?” This episode is for anybody who feels stuck, frustrated, or unfulfilled, and doesn’t know what to do next.

Former Boise State tight end Connor Peters felt like a failure when he didn’t make it to the NFL. Like many elite athletes, Connor didn’t have a clear vision for his life after sports. Having no outlet to express the intense drive that he developed as an athlete, Connor found himself deeply unfulfilled in his first job after college. He thought to himself: “It doesn’t really matter what I do for a living now, I’ve already failed to reach my ultimate goal of playing at the next level.” In this interview, Connor and I discuss our time working together, and how he’s been able to rediscover his ability to create his desired outcome in all aspects of life. Including finding a fulfilling career. Connor’s advice to former athletes is: Don’t be ashamed of the feelings of uncertainty, frustration, or disappointment that happen after sports. Definitely don’t be afraid to ask for guidance. If you want help, you’re going to have to risk being vulnerable. Thanks for Listening!

6 years ago, around this same time of year, I had a hard time watching football on TV. Just the sound of the whistle reminded me that I would never play the game I love again. I talk to dozens of former athletes every week who still have a hard time watching their sport. Some of them stopped playing nearly a decade ago. If you’ve had a similar experience, I want you to know that just because you didn’t have the athletic career you’d hoped for, doesn’t mean you’re a failure. I think as athletes we spend so much time chasing the next big thing, that it’s easy for us to overlook how far we’ve come, and how proud of our accomplishments we should be. You’re still a role model to the ones who looked up to you during your playing days. You still have the opportunity to do something great. Once you find your new mission and apply that “go-getter” mindset to it, you’ll be unstoppable. Thanks for watching! Please share with someone who needs it!

Former MSU-Denver volleyball player Stephanie Laraway felt like she had lost a part of herself when her college career ended. She eventually grew tired of just “coping” with these feelings, and started being intentional about defining who she was outside of the jersey. Steph realized that if she wanted to help others, she had to heal herself first. In this interview, Stephanie and I discuss our time working together, and how she’s been able to rediscover her ability to create her desired outcomes in all aspects of life. Steph is now tapping into her gifts, and working on an exciting new project that’s going to have a major impact on the lives she’s touching. Thanks for Listening!

If you could create a future version of yourself 10 years, 20 years, or even 30 years into the future, what would this person be like? What would people say about you? What would you be known for? I’ve created a future version of myself named “T-40”. It stands for “40 year old Taj”. Everything I do today is geared towards bringing the vision that I have for my 40 year old self to fruition. No matter where we are in life, we all have the opportunity to become (almost) anything we set our minds to. It won’t always be easy, but it’ll always be worth it.

When I worked in a corporate environment, people typically came in on Mondays complaining about being back at work. I was one of them. It always bothered me that I was spending so much time and energy in a place where people were just as uninspired as I was. I was only there for a paycheck. I was only there because I was unclear about what I really wanted in life. Eventually, I stopped complaining and started taking responsibility. I realized that a great life doesn’t just happen by accident, it has to be intentionally designed. I didn’t want to live the rest of my life looking forward to the weekend. If you’re not satisfied with your direction, I hope you find the courage to change course today. Look for a new job. Work harder in your current role. Start that side business you’ve been putting off. Do something. Do anything. You owe it to yourself. Thanks for listening!

Looking back at my 22 year old self, I see a completely lost, frustrated ex-football player struggling with his identity. The truth is: I couldn’t find the answers I needed because I was asking the wrong questions. Everything started to shift once I realized that the questions I ask myself have a direct impact on the outcomes I produce. “Who am I without football?” became “Who do I have the opportunity to become now?” “How can I numb the pain today?” became “How is this pain helping me grow?” “How can I get rich?” became “Who can I uplift?” Better questions = better answers. Better answers = more clarity. More clarity = a better way of life. I hope you ask yourself some powerful questions today!

Race isn’t something I talk about often. From the very beginning, my focus has been on helping guide former athletes of all races, from any sport. However, I’ve noticed a pattern among athletes of color that I can’t help but address: In my experience, black athletes (including me) have a harder time opening up, being vulnerable, and asking for help. I believe this is especially true in the case of black athletes, because sports is so often viewed as our way “out” (I’ll save that topic for another video). In the full video, I dive into several reasons why I think that is, but here’s my point: Don’t be ashamed of the feelings of uncertainty, frustration, nostalgia, or anything else that comes up after hanging up the jersey. Don’t be afraid to express what you’re dealing with, and ask for guidance. If you want help, you’re going to have to risk being vulnerable. Also, I can’t stress enough how important it is to check on a former teammate, just to see how they’re doing. I try to do this at least once per week with someone I haven’t talked to in a while.

I’d like to thank former Southern Connecticut / retired pro football player Andre Privott for being vulnerable enough to share the internal struggles he overcame during these past few months. I’ve really enjoyed working with this guy and couldn’t be more proud of how far he’s come in such a short period of time. He went from letting the fear of failure hold him back, to landing his first 2 clients before even getting certified as a personal trainer. Andre is well on his way to creating the life he envisions for himself post-football. Andre’s advice to former athletes is to get out of the “audience” and onto the field. Whatever it is that you want in life, go for it. It doesn’t have to be perfect, it just needs to be in motion. Lastly, never let outside influences take you off of your chosen path. Follow Andre on Instagram: @andreprivott Connect with me at tajdashaun.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tajdashaun/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/coachtajdashaun/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdQgi_hDXaP5-6OtX_Nyf4A
This might be the most important topic I’ve covered in a while. What do you do when you feel like you’re not passionate about anything? What if you can’t find your “purpose”? I made this episode for those of you who feel stuck. You know you want more out of life, but you don’t know how to get it. I want you to have the freedom of knowing that there’s nothing wrong with you. You’re in the process of discovery. You’re exactly where you need to be. You don’t have to invent the next billion dollar app, you just need to discover what makes you come alive. Strive to find the intersection between making a valuable contribution to others, and doing things you love to do. Things you would do for free. As long as you’re striving to become the best, most authentic version of yourself every day, you can’t lose.

Former Cal Lutheran basketball player, Andrew Atakpo went from sitting in a cubicle wondering “What am I doing with my life?” to waking up every day feeling inspired, and taking massive action to bring his vision to fruition. Andrew’s new mission is to give people access to practical, insightful information that helps them take control of their finances. Andrew’s #1 piece of advice: Whatever it is that you want, go for it. Shut out the opinions of others, listen to your own inner voice, and never doubt yourself.

Don’t let the fear of being labeled a “job hopper” keep you stuck where you’re unhappy, unfulfilled, and non-productive. Trust me, it’s okay to walk away sometimes. Of course, we need to be intentional about what we’re getting ourselves into from the start, but often times, trial and error are a necessary part of our evolution. There are times when we pursue a career path (business venture, relationship, etc.) thinking it’s going to be one thing, and it turns out to be something totally different. People change. Goals change. Priorities change. If we’re not engaged in our work, if we’re not excited to get out of bed in the morning, then we’re doing ourselves (and the company) a great disservice by staying just to hit the “year mark”. When we embrace change, change embraces us.

In episode 45 of The 9INE POINT Started With A Dream Podcast, Jacolby Gilliam talks with Taj Dashaun former Stony Brook University football player and now athlete transition coach about his journey and the importance of finding clarity on your career path. In this conversation, Taj walks us through his journey and how he first fell in love with the game of football. An injury his junior year gave him a new view of the business of college athletics. Taj would earn an offer to Stony Brook University in New York, where he pursued a communications degree. He had never fully developed a clear vision for his life after the game. After several years of stumbling around in the dark, Taj began to take his eyes off of himself and focus on serving others. He now runs an intensive program for retired athletes who are struggling to adapt to life after sports. Not only does Taj help retired athletes land jobs and start businesses, but he also helps them find fulfillment in every single area of their lives. His personal mission now is to reach out and help other athletes overcome the frustration associated with life post-athletics. Taj’s story is one for any athlete that might be feeling lost or not sure what moves to make after college. Connect with Taj and follow his journey on social media.

Let's face it: Some of the relationships in our lives are well past their expiration dates. This doesn't necessarily mean we need to start cutting people off, but we may need to limit the amount of time we spend with them. Over the years, I’ve learned to draft people into my life the same way professional teams draft players. I want to be around people who can execute, and bring out the best in me. It's said that a wise person learns from his/her mistakes. A wiser person learns from others' mistakes. But the wisest person of all learns from others’ successes. Who have you been learning from lately?

Unlike most of the former athletes I work with, retired pro volleyball player, Evann Slaughter walked away from her sport voluntarily. In this interview, we discuss how Evann overcame self-doubt and regret by honoring her decision to walk away from the game, and getting excited about her new career as a Physical Therapist. Evann’s #1 piece of advice: Don’t be so hard on yourself. Give yourself time to grow, and put the work in to set yourself up for success. You can be great at other things, it just takes time.

Exercise isn’t about having a 6-pack, it’s about being healthy. How many times have we complained about not sticking to our diets? How many times do we find ourselves not quite “motivated” enough to workout? Working towards a “summer body” is great, but it’s not enough to make us put those running shoes on, or hit the gym when we don’t feel like it. What’s missing is having bigger goals. Goals that involve other people. I want to be able to crawl around on the floor with my grandchildren when they’re toddlers, and shoot hoops with them when they’re teens. A healthier lifestyle leads to a longer life, which means more time to enjoy everything this beautiful world has to offer, with the people we love the most. If that’s not enough motivation, I don’t know what is. What motivates you to stay healthy? Thank you for listening!

No one is happy 100% of the time. Ups and downs are just part of the human experience. We’ll never be able to free ourselves from negative thoughts entirely, but we can always choose what to do with them when they come up. A great mentor once taught me to catch myself having negative thoughts, and replace them with better thoughts. It’s not about elimination, it’s about observing and replacing. It’s all about your bounce back time. Thanks for Listening!

A great life doesn’t just happen by accident, it has to be intentionally designed.
We have to look at the path we’re on and ask ourselves, “Do I like where I’m going?”
Most of us have been conditioned to blindly chase money, and chasing money gets pretty old after a while.
It’s enough to get us started, but not enough to keep us going when times get tough.
This video is for anybody who feels stuck, frustrated, or unfulfilled, and doesn’t know what to do about it.
I’d like to encourage you to start being more specific about what you want for yourself, and for the people in your life
I’d like to challenge you to start dreaming more intentionally, and with more clarity.
If you’re not operating from a place of clarity, you’re guessing, and blurry targets don’t get hit!
You have to figure out what brings you meaning, while bringing value to others.
You have to find your mission.

After going undrafted by the NFL, former Oregon State punter Nick Porebski went from playing on Saturdays to working construction. Like many elite athletes, Nick didn’t have a clear vision for his life after sports.
In this interview, Nick and I discuss our time working together, and how he was able to rewire his brain to become a better version of himself.
Now Nick is able to control his own destiny and create effective strategies to achieve any goal he sets his mind to. He believes in his ability to execute, and wakes up every day with a newfound sense of purpose and joy.
Be sure to watch the full video! There’s a ton of good info you won't want to miss! Especially if you’re an athlete transitioning into life after sports.
Nick’s #1 piece of advice: Always keep an open mind and be willing to share yourself authentically.

Not just the find next place to collect a paycheck. I want you to be self-sufficient. I want you to be inspired when you wake up in the morning.
