Outside The Lines: Playbook for Life After Sports (College/Professional Edition)
Outside
The game ends. The question begins. Who are you when the sport that defined you is no longer the thing that defines you? This is the playbook for that moment.
Sports used you. The real question is - how do you use sports to win at life outside the lines?
Who are you when
the game is over?
For most athletes, identity and sport are the same word. From the time you were 8 years old, you were an athlete. That's how people introduced you. That's what you worked toward. That's who you were. And then one day — through choice, injury, age, or a final whistle — it ends. And everything you built your identity on walks out with it. Outside The Lines was written for that exact moment. The transition nobody prepares you for.
If you've heard the final whistle,
this is your next play.
