It can be devastating to have the one thing you’ve exhausted your energy into stop abruptly without a plan. Even with a plan it’s still hard to let go of the one thing you know best.

What happens to the athlete who feels as though he/she has failed because they haven't reached a certain level of success within the sport they've spent their entire lives training for? For most athletes, figuring out life after sports can be a tough task to handle. Some of us begin our sports career at an early age and we continue to play sports all the way through college and beyond if we're lucky. With that being the case, majority of an athlete's lifespan is spent cultivating the ability to be great and reach a certain pinnacle of success within the sport they play. In this episode, the PiT Crew catches up with former Rutgers University Running Back and Track & Field Star, Tyrone Putman. Ty shares his transition story out of sports and into the corporate workforce. Like many, Ty found himself in a dark space after realizing that he might not play another minute of football ever again. That's when he knew that he had to redefine success for himself because the dark space that came upon him was caused by the pressure of not succeeding in football.
