From Track Athlete to Entrepreneur

In this episode of Athletes to Entrepreneur: The Alumni Journey podcast we speak with Michael White, former elite runner and entrepreneur.

How should athletes transition from the world of sports to the working world? Michael White shares, “You put your disciplined self in front of people (future employers) and they see your determination and personality and they see that and they say Go get them! So you shift from the sports you just played in, to the business you want to get in and with that mindset.”

He goes on to say “What you learn (in sport) is, repetition is reputation. What you learn from doing drills, the weights, running laps is the same thing (in business). It’s about your mentality."

If you want to transition from sports into the working world or are considering a career change, listen to this dynamic conversation between Michael White and Alumni Direct’s CEO and founder, Rob Finklestein.
