Thrive After Sports w/ Taj Dashaun
551 episodes - English - Latest episode: about 1 month ago -I help athletes discover their new identity and life's direction after sports. I believe that what drove us in athletics, still drives us now. All it takes is a little guidance, and a push in the right direction.
It's become my personal mission to reach out and help others overcome the fear, frustration, and uncertainty associated with life post-athletics.
The question to ask oneself after hanging up the jersey isn’t: “who am I now?” The question is: “who do I want to become, and why?”

Who Gives a F*** What People Think (Solo Episode) Ep 28
December 18, 2021 18:13 - 4 minutes - 6.3 MBIf you’re reading this right now, this is a reminder that you have absolutely nothing to prove to anyone. While I think it’s important to have humility and take advice/feedback from others, I also know how important it is to take everyone’s opinion with a grain of salt. Something that’s been extremely impactful for me in recent years is acknowledging the fact that my time here on earth is limited. Keeping this in mind gives me a sense of urgency, and helps me make the most of every moment. So...

27. Influencer Networking Secrets Podcast w/ Host Paul Edwards
December 18, 2021 18:13 - 52 minutes - 48.8 MBWhile the stakes are dramatically different, there’s no denying the similarities between the life of a soldier, and the life of an elite athlete. I’d like to thank Paul Edwards for inviting me on his show, and more importantly, for being vulnerable enough to share his experience transitioning out of the military after serving two tours in Iraq. We had a great conversation that I’m hoping will enable listeners to heal and grow. This episode is for anybody who’s afraid to admit that they’re hu...

December 18, 2021 18:12 - 9 minutes - 13 MBI’d like to share something for all my guys out there who may be struggling with women. I’m not a dating coach, but as a career coach for former athletes, I feel responsible for helping people improve every single area of their lives, including relationships. Single guys often tell me that they have trouble attracting women once they’re no longer playing sports at an elite level. Guys in relationships tell me that their partners don’t seem to be as “into them” as they were during their playin...

Be Your Own Biggest Fan (Solo Episode) Ep 25
December 18, 2021 18:12 - 4 minutes - 6.39 MBDo you cheer for yourself the same way you cheer for your favorite teams? A few years ago, I realized that whenever I watched sports, I was showing up with a level of excitement and enthusiasm that I wasn’t bringing to my own life. Whether the teams I cheered for won or lost, it ultimately had zero impact on my future. Although I work with transitioning/retired athletes, there’s never been a time in my life when I’ve watched so little sports. In fact, I hardly watch TV at all. 99% of my focu...

Don't Escape Your Reality, Change It (Solo Episode) Ep 24
December 18, 2021 18:10 - 8 minutes - 11.6 MBI consumed more alcohol in my first 2 years after college than I did during my entire 4 years on campus. I drank (and smoked, and isolated myself) because I felt like a failure. Not only was I ashamed of the way my football career turned out, I was also struggling to figure out what I was going to do next. As time went by, it became clear to me that I was going to have to stop trying to escape my reality, and start changing it. I’m not a rich man by any means (yet), but I can honestly say th...

My time working with Justin wasn’t about teaching him anything new, it was about reminding him what he’s truly capable of off the field. In this interview, Justin touches on an important topic. It’s a message that I work very hard to get across to all former athletes: “Don’t wait for opportunities to come to you, create them.” Over the past f...

December 18, 2021 18:09 - 55 minutes - 51.7 MBOne of the many things I appreciate about Joi is that when it comes to helping former athletes, she’s always ready to talk solutions. On this episode, we took a deep dive into what it takes to effectively transition out of sports, and into the rest of our lives. Most of us have been conditioned to blindly chase money, and chasing money gets pretty old after a while.

Like many elite athletes, Connor didn’t have a clear vision for his life after sports. Having no outlet to express the intense drive that he developed as an athlete, Connor found himself deeply unfulfilled in his first job after college. He thought to himself: “It doesn’t really matter what I do for a living now, I’ve already failed to reach my ultimate goal of playing at the next level.” In thi...

You Are NOT a Failure (Solo Episode) Ep 19

Just the sound of the whistle reminded me that I would never play the game I love again. I talk to dozens of former athletes every week who still have a hard time watching their sport.

What would people say about you? What would you be known for? I’ve created a future version of myself named “T-40”. It stands for “40 year old Taj”.

It always bothered me that I was spending so much time and energy in a place where people were just as uninspired as I was. I was only there for a paycheck. I was only there because I was unclear about what I really wanted in life. Eventually, I stopped complaining and started taking responsibility.

How many times do we find ourselves not quite “motivated” enough to workout? Working towards a “summer body” is great, but it’s not enough to make us put those running shoes on, or hit the gym when we don’t feel like it. What’s missing is having bigger goals.

December 18, 2021 17:40 - 4 minutes - 4.52 MBNo one is happy 100% of the time. Ups and downs are just part of the human experience. We’ll never be able to free ourselves from negative thoughts entirely, but we can always choose what to do with them when they come up. A great mentor once taught me to catch myself having negative thoughts, and replace them with better thoughts. It’s not about elimination, it’s about observing and replacing.
