“My last year of college is when my depression began. My life revolves around athletics and never really thought much about the next. It took me a while to really discover new parts of me.”

- Genae B. (Lincoln University)

“Adapting to life after collegiate sports was not a simple one. I had to adjust to social circles outside of sports, replacing my passion and career goals, building around opportunities missed with the athletic lifestyle and creating my new identity without the validation of my athletic achievements.”

“Once it was over, it went from having fun with finally having free time, to stuck and borderline depressed on what is next for me. That lasted for about 2 years trying out different jobs seeing what might stick and trying to get in a field that can become a long term career.”
