Every elite athlete knows how hard it is to reach the pinnacle of their sport, the amount of training, effort, time and commitment necessary to get there. My guest on today\\u2019s #MakeYourMark podcast, Chris Hale, is a great example of how you can overcome tremendous odds to make it onto the big arena that is professional sports. What those of us who may watch the game from the stadiums or on TV don\\u2019t realize is what the athletes have to go through to be ready for those few moments on the field, and Chris shines a spotlight on that, and so much more!\\xa0

\\u201cAn athlete never says it\\u2019s time to go, there\\u2019s about 1 percent that say that. The league says it\\u2019s time to go.\\u201d

This episode flows so well: you\\u2019ll get great guidance and advice from Chris and I on what you can do to be prepared for life after sport, and how important it is to have a plan B while you are in the midst of plan A!\\xa0\\xa0

\\u201cThe brain is like a sponge, you can do what you set your mind too. You can do anything you think you\\u2019re capable of, you just have to do it.\\u201d

Make sure to give this a listen, as you\\u2019ll also hear how you can end up with a free copy of my job search playbook for athletes, Win Again! Chris is an awesome guy with a super personality, this is a super episode to tune in to! Happy Listening!

\\u201cYou have to set your priorities to what\\u2019s happening in your life, where you want to be. What younger people don\\u2019t realize is those high school years are years that go by fast as heck, so your focus can\\u2019t be on what\\u2019s going on at the high school, it has to be what\\u2019s happening beyond that school.\\u201d
