Other side of your comfort zone

Ever heard the saying that “life begins on the other side of your comfort zone”? It may not have been coined by someone talking about athlete transition. It is extremely applicable.

As an athlete, sports become our comfort zone. We create routines. We generally know what to expect from day to day. Even the intense training days that push our muscles to failure fit into our comfort zone of what we expect.

Transitioning out of sport shatters that comfort zone. Now, are you choosing to embrace the opportunity to create new healthy, success driving habits to develop a great and exciting life or are you dwelling on what was lost and allowing your habits to happen to you. The choice is yours. And, if you haven’t begun your transition yet, the opportunity is there to proactively start preparing those new habits to speed that process later.
