1) Use your athletic background to your advantage

If you played college sports it may have been tough to gain relevant work/internship experience while you were in school so it’s important to leverage your experience as an athlete in your applications/interviews. Traits like being disciplined, hard working, and competitive can take a you a long way in your professional career.

2) Don’t stop training

Just because you don’t play a sport anymore, doesn’t mean you can’t still train like you do. If you’re able to stay in peak physical shape, you’ll continue to feel good and be healthy even though you’re working at a desk all day.

3) Treat your career like your sport

Whether you’re an entrepreneur or working a 9-5, the only way to progress is to apply the same habits you learned as an athlete, to your work. First one in last one out, getting reps in after practice, etc.

4) Keep going

If you were an athlete, then you definitely had plenty of ups and downs along the way. I know I did. You’ll experience the same thing in your career. No matter what you’re pursuing, the person who continues to put the work in and doesn’t give up, will always win in the end.

That moment when the game stops… and everything gets quiet.
As Gilbert Arenas shares, the struggle is real. No schedule. No locker room. No one telling you where to be or what’s next. And for many athletes, that silence can turn into isolation… even depression.

At THE LAB (Life After Ball), we understand that transition isn’t just physical—it’s mental, emotional, and deeply personal.
You trained your whole life for the game.

We’re here to help you train for what comes after it.

Life after sports is scary…” — and for so many athletes, that’s the part no one prepares you for.
When the game ends, the routine shifts, the spotlight fades, and you’re left figuring out who you are beyond the jersey. It’s not just about finding a new path—it’s about redefining your identity, building new skills, and learning how to win in a completely different arena.

At THE LAB, we understand that transition. We’re here to help athletes navigate life after the game with purpose, confidence, and the tools they need to succeed beyond sports.
Because your greatness doesn’t end when the game does—it evolves.
