Transitioning from being a student-athlete to an employee entering the real world can be difficult without having a game plan in mind. Hear Colin’s story of what it was like for him to land a job that he realized was completely different than he expected, how he began to leverage skills from playing sports toward his career journey, and advice to help you keep the right mindset while navigating into the unknown.
