[quote=Anonymous]One runner, one field hockey player. Neither have made much money since leaving sport - one went into amateur coaching and the other is in marketing, both are in normal, happy-enough marriages and have always been good and kind people. Both struggled with mental health challenges after retiring, one was quite open about her struggle during her athletic career as well and the other one it seemed to be mostly after retiring. I think it is hard because you have to be singularly focused to have a chance at success, and it can be very psychologically difficult when you either don't succeed after devoting all your time or moving on when your entire identity was your athleticism.[/quote]
