In this episode of The Sports Nutrition Playbook, host Amy Goodson sits down with Michael Willett of WalkOn Nation to discuss the complexities of athletic identity and its impact on teen athletes. They explore what it means for an athlete to have a strong ‘athletic identity’ and how it can shape their sense of self both positively and negatively. Michael shares insights on recognizing when athletes may be struggling with feeling defined solely by their sport and offers guidance on helping them separate personal identity from athletic achievements. The conversation delves into strategies for parents and coaches to support athletes in balancing dedication to their sport with the development of a well-rounded identity. Listeners will also learn actionable ways high school athletes can explore interests outside of sports, manage the pressure that comes with athletic identity, and prepare for life transitions. Discover how WalkOn Nation’s approach helps athletes see themselves as ‘enhanced, not defined’ by their sport, and hear stories of how this mindset shift has positively impacted their lives.
