ONCE ATHLETES RETIRE
Empowering Retired Athletes
Welcome to Once Athletes Retire!
We are Sandra and Anne and after stepping away our sport, we found ourselves lost. We asked ourselves:
-
Who are we besides our sport?
-
How do you make friends with 'normal people' that you are not bound to through gruesome workouts or shower cries?
-
How do you fuel your body correctly when you don't have 4-hour training sessions per day?
-
How can I make workouts fun and effective?
We struggled with these and many more questions and after a while, we realized we are not alone. But there was a lack of information and services that helped us transition from our athlete-centered identities and lifestyles to more holistic selves and balanced life forms. So we decided to create a space dedicated to supporting retired and soon-to-be retired athletes. It's a place where you can find resources, guidance, and a community of like-minded individuals. If you currently feel lost and lonely, we can assure you: It's normal for many former athletes. But we promise: you are not alone and we've got your back!
OAR is where you can discover a wealth of information and support tailored to the unique needs of retired athletes. Our goal is to provide a platform where you can explore opportunities, access expert advice, and connect with others who understand the transition from a professional sports career to a life beyond the game.
