Athletes & Transition
When the Game Ends, Who Are You?
You are not your stat line. You are not your jersey.
For many athletes, the game ends long before the identity does. Pierce J. Brooks knows firsthand the emotional crash that can follow athletic careers—whether you’re a student-athlete stepping off the court or a pro navigating retirement.
He speaks directly to that space in between: the silent grief, the questions of self-worth, and the desire to find purpose beyond performance. Through lived experience and deep reflection, Pierce guides athletes to reconnect with their voice, rebuild their identity, and create a life that’s rooted in wholeness—not wins.
Why This Work Matters
Whether you’re still competing or have already stepped away, the real question is: Who are you beyond the uniform?
Athletes are often taught to tie their worth to wins, stats, and sacrifice. But identity built solely on performance is fragile—and often leaves players feeling lost when the game changes or ends.
Pierce J. Brooks invites athletes to explore who they are outside of their sport—not to leave it behind, but to expand beyond it. Through lived experience and deep, honest reflection, he helps athletes uncover the values, voices, and vision they’ve buried beneath the grind.
This work isn’t just for retirement. It’s for anyone ready to find wholeness while still in the game—or after it.
