Asa Alexander knows what it’s like to stand at the top and what it’s like when the ground falls out. After three ACL surgeries ended his athletic run, Asa had to figure out how to move forward without the structure and rewards of sports. In this episode, Asa opens up about the mental work of adjusting to a new kind of life, where you become your own coach and set your own goals. He talks about carrying the lessons of teamwork into the workplace, finding a sense of direction without outside expectations, and learning how to mark achievements when there’s no scoreboard. For anyone facing big changes or letting go of a past chapter, Asa’s story hits home.
