*SPECIALLY DESIGNED for former elite/pro-level athletes who are stuck trying to figure out who they are & what "superpowers" they have to help them have success in their next chapter of life.
My journey began after I finished playing professional football. I was lost...I didn’t know who I was! I knew how to be a HIGH PERFORMER i.e great teammate, take in information at an incredible rate of speed and process it, as well as being great at paying attention to details but other than that Football was who I was...and once I finished, I went into a deep depression.
I came to grips that I needed to lead myself out of this dark place. I read leadership books, self-help books, and attended leadership seminars..but nothing gave me the results I was seeking.
My rock bottom hit when I applied for an entry-level non-profit job in Portland, Oregon. I had worked part-time for a non-profit in San Diego for 6-months, so I thought that I was a shoo-in for the role. During the interview process, the Director asked me questions about the organization...I was ready, but when she flipped the script and started asking me questions about myself, such as:
-What's your passion?
-Why do you want this job?
-What's your purpose?
-What is leadership?
I was stuck...I mean literally, STUCK! I didn't have an answer to any of these questions. After about 10 mins of questions like these she finally told me, "Alex, I suggest you do some self-development and find out exactly who you are before you go on any more job interviews". She walked me out of the building, I went to my car and I cried my eyes out!!! This lady who just met me told me that I didn't know who I was....and she was correct!
I started looking back on the good coaches & teammates as well as the bad ones during my journey in football and I peeled back the layers that I felt were important. When I filtered everything through the lens of my old defensive back coach (Willie Shaw’s) formula of coaching... it made perfect sense to me. I also realized that I needed a coach to help me with my overall development. It was one of the best decisions I ever made...it wasn’t cheap either (50K) but the knowledge that I now had gave me the confidence to be a better coach to my high-performance athletes and I soon began to coach executives as well as get on stage and motivate and inspire people from all walks of life. Needless to say, it was a very good investment w/ a high ROI.

Data that shows where former Elite/Professional athletes are dropping the ball.
Pro Athlete Direct found that only 60% to 80% of athletes will divorce 5 years after they finish playing. An NCAA survey of athletes found that 30% reported feeling depressed over the course of a year. Why? Research from the Northern Ireland Association of Mental Health suggests competitive failure and other factors can lead to psychological distress.
