On this episode of The Chronic Athlete, I share a personal experience that I am currently moving through.  I had known from age 12 that I was going to receive a scholarship to play basketball in college.  I even knew if professional basketball was available to me I would find a way.  My collegiate experience was hard, but rewarding.  I was able to live out my dream of competing in the NCAA Tournament and even made it to the Sweet Sixteen round playing on our home court. What I don't talk about is the mental and emotional turmoil that I experienced for the majority of my career.  In the recent retirement announcement of my previous coach, I had so many feelings bubble up inside me.  Feelings of sadness, resentment, and questioning why my experience was the way it was.  What part did I play?  What part do I play now to deal with this instead of pushing it out of sight, out of mind? This is my first step forward in moving through this.  This is my step forward in speaking my truth to facilitate healing.  If you are going through anything similar, my heart goes out to you. Would love to hear your thoughts if this message hits home.  Screenshot & tag me @coachamyrae on Instagram or shoot me an email at [email protected].
