Career transitions for retired athletes can be challenging as they often struggle with identity and purpose after leaving their sport. Many athletes experience feelings of loss and must navigate a new professional landscape outside of competition. Some may pursue careers in coaching, broadcasting, or business, while others may face difficulties in adapting to this change. The support of mentorship and counseling can play a crucial role during this transition, helping former athletes find new passions, develop skills, and establish fulfilling careers that can lead to a successful and satisfying post-athletic life.
