How does a successful professional athlete adapt his fitness routine when he becomes a retired athlete?

When successful ice-hockey professional Shaun Thompson decided that the time had come to hang-up his skates for the last time he could not predict the impact that decision to retire would have on him.

In this episode of the Abeceder health and well-being podcast Fit For My Age, Shaun explains to host Michael Millward the lessons he learnt that led to him becoming the Behaviour Change Coach.

Their conversation covers

• The difficulties of the challenges of accepting the impact normal life changes can have on us.
• How difficult it can be to find the fitness strategy that will work for you.
• The perils of following the crowd
• The importance of finding the right mental approach.
