The Vintage Athlete Podcast: Doing Life After Sports
Episode 12: You’re Not Lazy—You’re Disoriented: Why Former Athletes Struggle with Stillness
In this episode of the Vintage Athlete Podcast, Tara Fortier explores the challenges that former athletes face in transitioning to a life of mindfulness and stillness after sports. She discusses the discomfort associated with stillness, the importance of reconditioning the nervous system, and the role of mindfulness in personal growth and healing. The episode emphasizes that stillness is a strength, not a weakness, and invites listeners to engage in self-reflection and consider the benefits of mindfulness practices.
