    Who Are You When the Jersey Comes Off? (feat. Caitlin Broadwell)

    We are often told to "leave it at the door" when we step onto the field, but is that actually possible? Today, Shaun sits down with Caitlin Broadwell—former LSU Beach Volleyball player, LPC, and author—to dismantle the myth that you can separate the athlete from the human. In this episode, we cover: The Holistic Wheel: Why sleep, social life, and mental health are performance metrics. Toxic Perfectionism: The difference between healthy striving and the fear of failure. Redefining Resilience: Why "grinding through it" isn't always the answer. Life After Sport: Navigating the identity void when the game ends. Caitlin also breaks down her new project, "Hanging Up The Jersey," a workbook designed to help athletes transition into life after competition without losing themselves in the process.

    Life After College Sports: Finding Identity Beyond the Game with Ian Rice

    What happens when your playing days are over — but your identity is still tied to being an athlete? In this episode of the AthletesClass Pod, host Shaun Boyte talks with Ian Rice (https://start.ianakarice.com/), a former Division I javelin thrower at Cal Poly, about one of the hardest moments in an athlete’s life: the transition from sport to what comes next. Ian shares his story of adaptability, resilience, and rediscovering purpose beyond competition. From switching sports and setting records to facing real loss and learning to “bounce forward,” he’s learned to turn every setback into data — fuel for growth. Now, through his upcoming book The College Athlete’s Interview Playbook, Ian helps athletes apply the same systems, preparation, and confidence that made them successful in sport to launch meaningful careers after it. You’ll hear about: Letting go of your athletic identity — and what comes after How to prepare mentally for the transition Turning failure into feedback The power of “reverse visualization” Building confidence and purpose beyond the field If you’re a college athlete, coach, or parent wondering what happens next — this conversation is for you.

    Introducing the AthletesClass, a resource for athletes, coaches, and parents on the mental and emotional side of sports. The journey of an athlete, from a youngster learning how fun sports can be to a professional feeling the enormous weight of a country, is full of significant and unprecedented moments: joy, disappointment, anticipation, extreme highs, and lonely lows.
