Athlete topic brief

Retirement and transition

Leaving sport changes structure, identity, relationships and future plans.

Why this shows up in sport

Transition support should start before the final event, not after the athlete disappears from the system.

Questions to sit with

You do not need to answer these online. MindsMelt does not collect or score them.

  • 01

    What parts of sport do I want to keep?

  • 02

    Who am I outside results and routine?

  • 03

    What practical support begins before I leave?

One next step

Create a transition conversation with one person inside sport and one person outside it.
