When the game ends, who are you?
In Transition: Nearing the End or After Sport
Whether you’re nearing the end or already done, this isn’t just a career change—it’s an identity shift.
And no one really prepared you for this part.
Whether you’re nearing the end or already done, this isn’t just a career change—it’s an identity shift.
And no one really prepared you for this part.
You gave everything to your sport—your time, your energy, your heart.
Now the season’s over. Or you’ve already stepped away. And the world feels quieter, emptier, and harder to navigate than you expected.
This isn’t just about what’s next.
It’s about making peace with what was—and learning to feel whole again.
You’re not starting from scratch. You’re not broken.
You’re just in the part of the story that no one taught you how to live.
Everyone expects you to move on.
But no one talks about how much this hurts.

Happy Athletes
I no longer feel the need to prove myself
- Emily S., former D1 athlete
“After college soccer ended, I felt completely unmoored. I didn’t know who I was without the game. Working with Kate helped me process the grief, untangle my worth from performance, and begin dreaming again. I no longer feel the need to prove myself—I feel grounded in who I’m becoming.”
The thoughts below are common — but rarely said out loud:
- “I miss being an athlete more than I thought I would.”
- “No one gets how lost I feel without my sport.”
- “I don’t know who I am anymore.”
- “I’m grieving something I didn’t realize I’d miss.”
- “I thought I’d feel relieved, but I just feel lost.”
- “It’s hard to talk about this with people who don’t get it.”
- “I miss the structure. The purpose. The adrenaline.”
What We'll work on together:
what you'll walk away with:
- Making sense of what’s ending and why it matters
- Processing grief, identity loss, and uncertainty
- Clarifying who you are without sport and what you want next
- Creating meaningful structure, vision, and direction
- Discovering what lights you up beyond performance
- Peace with the chapter that’s closing
- A deeper understanding of who you are—not just what you did
- A renewed sense of purpose outside of sport
- A personal compass and plan to help you move forward with clarity
- Confidence and excitement in your next chapter
