What’s up guys! Welcome back to another episode of The Athlete Angle.
I had the privilege to talk with former pro basketball player and fellow Gator, Patric Young. Patric and I talked about the importance of making friends outside of your team while you’re still in school and how this can help you gain perspective about the world outside of your sport.
We covered how the injuries he endured while he was playing helped redefine his priorities in life outside of basketball, and what he did when he decided to retire.
One of those things to pay attention to was his mindset coming into this transition.
One of his quotes that I thought was os good and such a good reminder is that “there is no such thing as an insignificant season.”
We covered how treating people well will pay dividends for you later, the kind of mindset he had walking into a job for the first time post sport, and the hallmarks of good community.
