[quote=Anonymous]I think this is a tough transition for athletes under normal circumstances, like the end of a college career. It is absolutely heartbreaking for a situation like this and for a sport like figure skating or gymnastics that takes 100% commitment to the exclusion of everything else to be at an elite level. I agree that therapy is needed, and a lot of it. This might sound silly, but there are a few athlete interviews on Armchair Expert, and they talk about this transition and how difficult it is (again, for elite professional athletes aging out of their successful careers and struggling with the loss of identity - so a situation like your daughter’s that is a traumatic and abrupt end to her identity really needs to be addressed with expert care)[/quote]
