This week's episode of Athletes After Hours features keynote speaker, former minor league baseball player, and author Chris Cullen for a conversation that goes far beyond the game. After seeing his lifelong dream of playing professional baseball come to an unexpected end, Chris was forced to confront one of the hardest questions every athlete eventually faces: Who am I without my sport?
Together, we dive into identity beyond athletics, navigating career transitions, finding purpose after setbacks, and the mindset shifts that helped Chris turn one chapter closing into the beginning of something even greater. We also talk about resilience, personal growth, and why some of life's biggest challenges often become our greatest opportunities.
Whether you're an athlete, chasing a dream, or simply navigating a season of change, this conversation is packed with perspective and practical wisdom that will leave you feeling inspired to embrace whatever comes next.
