Write 500 words about the sports psychologist’s role in helping athletes deal with life after sport. Many athletes focus on their sport over their academic or work-life roles. However, the reality of life is that most people do not “make a living” within the field of professional sports. Even those who do at some point have to stop competing. Many athletes turn to the profession of coaching as a way to continue their involvement, but still those positions are small in number relative to the amount of athletes who would like to fill them. So how do we prepare athletes for their transition away from athletic competition? Where are you in dealing with this transition yourself? This will be posted to the “Life After Sport” discussion board. The book we are using for this class is Applied Sports Psychology, Seventh Edition, by Jean M. Williams and Vikki Krane
