Thrive After Sports w/ Taj Dashaun

148. Reducing the Risk of Post-Sport Burnout | Athletes Soul "2021 Feed the Soul Summit"

There are a ton of athletes out there, maybe you're one of them, who have dedicated their life to their sport. They have spent hours physically training, practicing, studying film, etc. to optimize their potential to get to the highest level of what they do. Even when athletes do achieve the peak of their performance and get to the professional or Olympic level, their career does come to an end in their 30's or 40's. The issue with this is that after ALL this dedication, they still have decades of life left and for most athletes who make it only to the college level, they are stuck without a lot of other options besides going into the "real world". Unfortunately, in a lot of instances, athletes do not know what to do after sports. They have not thought of the future, they haven't been told to think of the future, and they are left without much direction. This is exactly what Taj Dashaun helps athletes with and it's what we talk about on this podcast. We talk about creating new routines, finding your purpose, finding your new sport within life and how to kill it on a daily basis to win.

147. The Weight Room Podcast | Hosted by Daniel Volz

In this episode, we interview Taj Dashaun. Taj Dashaun is a former Division-1 college football player for Stony Brook University. When his football career ended, Taj struggled heavily with depression. Because he was so focused on the game, he never fully developed a clear vision for his life. After several years of stumbling around in the emotional darkness of uncertainty, Taj began to take his eyes off of himself and focus on serving others. He now runs an intensive program for retired athletes who, like he once was, are struggling to adapt to life after sports. Not only does Taj help former players land jobs and start businesses, he helps them find fulfillment in every area of their lives. It's become his personal mission and passion to reach out and help others overcome the fear, frustration and uncertainty associated with life post-athletics. Taj is also the host of the Thrive After Sports podcast. Taj shares his transition secrets, what he's up to now  and insights on how the best thrive after sports whether as an athlete entrepreneur or in the corporate space. We also talk about why every athlete should consider writing a book and what that means from a business and legacy perspective.

Juwan Rohan is a progressive entrepreneur from the Bay Area. ‘Progressive,’ meaning he is continuing to grow his businesses and learn so that he can OWN and not be owned. Juwan graduated from Colorado College with a bachelor’s in Psychology and a minor in Spanish. He was a student- athlete who played four years on the basketball team for the Colorado College Tigers. After graduating, Juwan worked the traditional 9-5 but was curious about how to build generational wealth. After tons of research, he knew that the stock market and real estate market was a common theme to wealth building. In order to invest, he knew he wanted more cash flow, so he started a few businesses; a Car Rental Company, Til Infinity Clothing, Real Estate Agent, Vallejo Prime Mobile Notary, Music, and The Misguided Podcast, with tons of other endeavors in the process as his book was being written. Juwan noticed the lack of financial education from the school system, so today; he strives to guide people to a better future by teaching financial literacy. Thanks for tuning in!

Madeline Barlow, PhD, dedicated 14 years to the sport of swimming, leaving her with a deep understanding of the mental side of sport—from the most magical moments to the darkest disappointments. As a doctoral student in Exercise & Sport Psychology at Temple University, Madeline conducted research on athletic identity and the transition out of sport, two aspects of her swimming career that affected her long after she touched the wall of her final race. Years later, on her personal healing journey, Madeline learned she was a highly sensitive person and has since recognized this trait in a majority of the individual athletes she supports as the mental performance coach for a Division I University. Now, as the founder of Mind-Wise Mentoring LLC and with more than 20 combined years as an athlete, sport psychology professional, and seeker of personal growth, Madeline is the creator of The Mind-Wise Method, her signature mind-body healing program for athletes and high achievers. This program combines Reiki Energy Healing and Human Design with the support of mentoring as her clients learn to embody the magic of their true Self!

134. "Rebranded Athlete" w/ Dr. Sarah Lepe

I help athletes discover their new identity and life's direction after sports. I believe that what drove us in athletics, still drives us now. All it takes is a little guidance, and a push in the right direction. It's become my personal mission to reach out and help others overcome the fear, frustration, and uncertainty associated with life post-athletics. The question to ask oneself after hanging up the jersey isn’t: “who am I now?” The question is: “who do I want to become, and why?” Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/thriveaftersports/support
