EP6 Kari and Paul - The Athlete Identity

Paul Duerden the volleyball player. Kari Schneider the strength coach. Often we define our identity around what we do. For high performance athletes, their entire lives can revolve around their sport and their identity becomes forever bound to it. A win or loss starts to define who they are, and what they view they are worth. Sound crazy? I lived this way for over 17 years, and Kari lived with the damage it caused after I retired. On this episode of the podcast Kari and I go into Identity, and provide our advice on how athletes can strike a healthy balance between what they do and who they are.
