Shedding our athletic armor is part of healing after sport. This blog explores the identity loss, pressure, and perfectionism athletes face and how mindfulness, compassion, and awareness help us reconnect with who we are beyond the competition floor. Reclaim your strength, release the armor, and rediscover your true self.

Many athletes face silent battles with depression, identity loss, and emotional pain long after the cheering stops. In this heartfelt post, I share my own struggles and shine a light on the hidden cost of sport culture. With awareness, compassion, and mindful change, we can redefine success—and remind athletes they are more than their performance.
