#mentalhealthawarenessmonth 10 Talks CONVERSAT10N – Athletic Identity, Injury, Retirement and TRANSIT10N Out of Sport
Join Carlette Patterson, Head Sports Life Coach® & CEO of Patterson Sports Ventures® and Mark R. Allen, MD, Peak Sports Psychiatry to hear about athletes leaving the limelight, identity management during retirement, owning transferable skills, and the grief process after sport.
Wellbeing:
  • Athletes must prepare for life outside of sport. Intentionally develop and own your transferable skills, use the Power of Team for support, and engage philanthropically with your community.
INFORMAT10N:
  • The Transition 2 Next for an athlete is a vulnerable process that challenges identity and purpose. Around 20% of athletes experience psychological distress when their career ends.
NAVIGAT10N Through Change:
  • Confront the natural grieving process when your athletic career comes to an end by talking through the change with a professional or with someone you trust.
  • Maintain a healthy lifestyle by staying on a daily schedule, prioritizing sleep and nutrition, and finding a physical activity that you love.
