Life After Sports

It’s been about the person you’ve become because of your efforts that maybe didn’t quite make you the exception, but it sure as hell made you exceptional.

Penny Oleksiak, Michael Phelps, Jackie Joyner-Kersee, Serena Williams, Usain Bolt, Mark Spitz, Danica Patrick. Just to name a few.

You probably recognize these exceptional athletes who have become household names due to their outstanding accomplishments.

But have you heard of Kristin Buchanan? She has exactly zero world records, she has never been to the Olympics and as a matter of fact she never even qualified for CIS.

However, she like so many other former and current competitive athletes, has dedicated every waking hour of her childhood, teenage and early twenty-something year old life to an unforgiving sport in hopes of becoming as successful and exceptional as those athletes just mentioned. She is the story of the majority.
