Description
The Athletes' Marathon podcast focuses on the journey that former Athletes, Entrepreneurs, Personal Trainers, and Coaches have gone through as they transition into their careers from their previous sport. Many former athletes understand the feeling of being "lost" or "confused" about what they want to pursue after they hang up their cleats. We discuss the journey through the ups and downs for each guest and how they used their experience, mindset, and work ethic to get them where they are today.
