        <itunes:summary>*Free Private Podcast Series for former female athletes who are ready to stop chasing success and start feeling like they&#39;ve won again.*

Former female athletes are often told that their athlete mindset is all they need to succeed after sport.

And while that mindset gives you the discipline, resilience, and drive to accomplish almost anything... it doesn&#39;t teach you *what* is actually worth pursuing, how to define success on your own terms, or how to build a life that feels as fulfilling as it looks.

Inside this private podcast series, Alyssa Hermann, RN, board-certified coach, and former soccer player, unpacks why so many former female athletes build successful lives after sport yet still feel disconnected from them, the hidden ways athletics continue shaping your decisions long after competition ends, and what it actually takes to channel your athlete mindset into a life that feels like winning again.

You&#39;ll learn about *The Gap* , why working harder has never been the solution, which parts of your athlete mindset deserve to come with you, and how you can apply a proven framework to channel your elite level ambition without sacrificing your fulfillment in the process.

----------------------------------
