When you look in the mirror - what do you see?
You… are not your sport!
You are a member of the human race who has chosen to compete in a sporting arena for a chapter in your life journey.
For now - you might be an athlete and may be lucky enough to be introduced as “this is “you” and then you’re tagged as your "athletic achievement"”.
But that’s not “you”…. that’s what you do.
In 20 years from now - what will you be tagged as?
WHO are you?
Your sport is called an event or competition for a reason - it requests that participants engage, train, compete and complete the event. This is cyclical, it just repeats and repeats. There is not a human on the planet who “is” a sport.

When you leave a sport, regardless of how good you are at it, you will leave the same sized hole that is left when you pull your finger out of a glass of water.
(Edit video so there’s a pause and this message can sink in! Can we actually find a finger being pulled out of a glass of water on film?)
There will always be someone to replace you. You might be “the” player of a generation, and get inducted into your sport Hall of Fame, but that is a result of your ability in your sport, that does not represent you the human, the very unique human with your own purpose, values and inner thoughts.
And as unique as you are - the story of athletes ending their sporting chapters, at many different stages, is not unique.
Your best…. Is OUTSIDE your sport.
And just like a doctor - they’re a person who specialises in medicine, when they’re away from their office, they’re just like you and I. Same goes for you the athlete. Away from your sport, you are you.
