In sport, it's difficult to find someone who understands where I'm coming from as an athlete, but who isn't invested in a specific outcome. Speaking with a professional specializing in sport provided a safe place to leave the strict identities I may have created for myself and entertain a possibility of change. At times I had been banging my head against a wall feeling too invested in a certain outcome to realize that there was a door to change right in front of me. Having a plan and talking through it helped me find my happiness. When happiness is the priority, many decisions become clear!
