Retired National Champions: "We Still Feel We Have to Earn Our Showers!"

  • Summary

  • 🎙️ In this episode, I’m joined by my former college basketball teammate, Ellie Pearson, for a deep dive into life after sports. 🏀 We explore the emotional and mental challenges that come with leaving behind an athletic identity, including the grief, the struggle to find new routines, and the ways that competitive drive never really fades. Ellie opens up about her journey, from the highs of winning a national championship to the unexpected challenges she faced once the games ended. She shares how moving to San Francisco, discovering yoga, and embracing the importance of rest have helped her redefine success and fulfillment. Whether you’re a former athlete or someone curious about the transition from sports to the ‘real world,’ this conversation is packed with insights, relatable experiences, and practical advice. Don’t miss out on this candid and inspiring discussion!
