Positioned for Purpose: Redefining Success as a Student-Athlete
In this episode of the Pressing Forward Podcast, we dive into what it truly means to position yourself for success as a student-athlete. Too often, athletes get caught up in the grind without asking the most important question: Why are you here?
We break down how to define your own meaning of success, recognize the opportunity of a lifetime, and set SMART goals that actually move you forward. We’ll also unpack the tough but necessary sacrifices you must make early on, the importance of expanding your network, and why taking care of your mental health is just as vital as your physical game.
Beyond performance, we talk about developing an identity that lasts long after the game, and cultivating patience when life throws storms your way. Whether you’re just starting your college career or preparing for life after sport, this episode will help you refocus, realign, and press forward with clarity and purpose
