Summary
The transition from college to career can be difficult for even the most prepared individual. However, for student-athletes who are also ending their athletic careers, the shift can be even more challenging. Often, the time demands and focus on their sport prevents the student-athlete from adequately preparing themselves for life after their sport ends.
Despite possessing highly desired skills (i.e. teamwork, resilience, and a strong work ethic), many student-athletes simply don’t know how to best position themselves in this super-competitive job market.
Lee draws from his personal experience as a former student-athlete and his professional expertise to share insights, best practices, and step-by-step instructions to equip the student-athletes with tools to best transition into their new careers.
Here are the expected outcomes…
Student-Athletes will learn to:
- Identify their transferable and differentiating skills
- Appropriately “sell themselves”
- Make better use of the career development resources on campus
- Effectively leverage their networks
- Find a new passion (career)
