She experienced the difficulties of transition from sport and is now a Master Results Coach and

Coaching and Training Organisation -The Christopher Howard Companies. Athletes spend years honing their skills in
preparation for competition.They start with the basics and build on these as their capabilities allow.With
changes and development of their respective sport, athletes may need to adjust to keep up
with competitors.This approach is also needed outside of sport and a retiring athlete will need
to consider what preparation is needed to play a new game in a whole new
arena - tn pas cher the game of life.I am a great believer in perpetual learning and when
someone takes it upon themselves to seek more knowledge and skills they will find that
the more they know, the more they realise how much they don't know.With new goals,
it is time for the athlete to identify what resource and skills will be needed
to reach those goals.Athletes are often already highly skilled in the art of persistence, the
ability to focus, teamwork, problem solving and goal setting.On retiring from sport, it's time to
apply these in a new direction.They may need to strengthen skills such as organisation, time
management and leadership.More importantly, retiring athletes will need to assess their skills in areas that
are not commonly associated tn requin with sport such as financial literacy, communication, sales, specific skills related
to their chosen career, and more.There are several ways to learn and it is generally
best to do a combination.Reading books and educational magazines is a start and then there
are courses, seminars and longer study.I'm always looking for the latest courses on offer to
see what more I can learn to develop my knowledge and personal development.It is important
for an individual to apply the same 'do whatever it takes' approach that they would
have applied to their sport to now achieve success in a new career.If this means
studying for four years at university then they should be prepared to do it.It is
better than wasting four years in an unsatisfying job or career.A champion in sport was
willing to learn new skills and then practise, practise, practise.Perhaps it even felt easy to
do because of the passion for the sport.When a retired athlete finds a course of
study that is in line with their dream and passion, they will enjoy the study
too, and then learning will become easy.For a successful transition from sport, athletes will benefit
from a commitment to a life of learning in order to continue to grow and
develop.Learning is the best investment for the future.Annette Huygens Tholen is a former international beach
volleyball player and participated in the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games. For more information on how
