On today’s episode, I’m talking to athlete, author, and leadership specialist, Lisa C. Willis.
Lisa is a former basketball player, with a career spanning from UCLA to the WNBA. When an injury forced her off of the court, Lisa thought she could use her next job to replace the role of basketball in her life. She struggled through this transition before she understood that her role and identity are different. She wrote the book When the Buzzer Sounds: A guide to transition players from the court to life after sports, in order to help other athletes with this transition. Lisa also works with Nike as an apparel wear test analyst, helping to amplify the voices of athletes in the process.
We talk about:
How Lisa stopped minimizing her accomplishments and began applying her skills as a communicator and supportive teammate off the court. How Lisa figured out that serving athletes mentally and emotionally caused the athletes to improve in all areas of their life as they learned to rely on internal rather than external sources of validation.Flipping the script on imposter syndrome and using it as an opportunity to justify to ourselves exactly why we’re the right ones to be delivering our own unique message.
