[quote=Anonymous]This is my brother.  He was good athlete growing up, and a good student, but being an athlete was always his identity.  My parents came to every meet and gave him a pass on things like chores and part time jobs because he was so serious about his sport.  In late high school and college he got even more serious about his sport.  He graduated from college with mediocre to dismal grades because he spent all of his time in the gym. After college he spent a couple of years living at home while training for the Olympics.  He missed making the team by a couple of slots.  He decided it was too rough on his body to try again so he retired.

He ended up in his mid twenties with no work history and having never explored any interests outside of sports.  He was burned out enough (and devastated from losing his dream) that he opted not to work in his sport.  Ten years later he's still stuck.  He has no idea how to move his life forward.  He has no idea who he is and no idea how to figure it out.  [/quote]
