What happens when the sport that shaped your entire identity suddenly ends? In this episode of No Former Athlete, I sit down with Logan, a former college volleyball player, lifelong athlete, and coach, who’s still pushing herself at 47 — even with a walking boot on her foot.
We talk about the transition from being a competitive athlete to figuring out how to stay consistent without a team or a coach, the power of accountability partners, and how to redefine what being an athlete means as life changes.
If you’ve ever struggled with motivation, missed the structure of practice, or wondered how to stay connected to that competitive fire — this episode is for you.
🎧 In this episode:
— Why the end of competitive sports can feel like an identity crisis
— How accountability partners help you stay consistent (even when motivation fades)
— Shifting from performance-based training to longevity and health
— The emotional side of leaving sports behind
— Why once an athlete… always an athlete (just in a different way)
👉 Ready to feel less alone in your post-sports journey? Hit play.
