Why knowing who you are off the field is just as important as what you do on it
n high performance environments, it’s easy for your sport to become your whole world.
You train, compete, recover, repeat. Your calendar, your conversations, your identity — all orbit around one thing: being an athlete.
And that works. Until it doesn’t.
Because what happens when you’re injured?
When you don’t get selected?
When the chapter ends, suddenly or by choice?
That’s when the cracks start to show. Not because you’ve failed — but because no one helped you build the rest of who you are.
At Thrive After Sport, we believe that knowing who you are beyond your athlete identity isn’t a luxury — it’s a necessity.
Through the CORE process, we help athletes:
-
Connect with the parts of themselves that have been left behind
-
Own their unique story, values, and potential
-
Respond with confidence and intention in the face of challenge
-
Emerge with clarity, purpose, and pride in who they are — not just what they do
You are more than your wins, your stats, or your jersey.
You are allowed to explore, evolve, and grow — even while you’re still in the game.
And when you do, you don’t just perform better.
You live better.
