For many athletes, sport isn’t just a game. It’s a central part of who they are. When injury or retirement forces an athlete to step away from the rink, field, court, or track, it can bring deep grief and a sense of loss. Many describe it as mourning the end of a major life chapter, with emotions like sadness, anger, confusion, and even denial.
I recognize these feelings and offer specialized coaching that creates a safe, supportive space to work through them. In one-on-one sessions, I help athletes acknowledge and process their grief so they can move forward with greater clarity, strength, and self-awareness.
Rebuilding Identity Beyond Sport
Athletic careers, whether amateur or professional, often shape a person’s identity. When that career ends unexpectedly, athletes may feel lost, unmotivated, or unsure of who they are without their sport. This identity crisis can lead to anxiety, depression, and a lack of direction.
I help athletes rebuild a sense of self that goes far beyond athletic achievements.
