Book published. Podcast live. Studio built. PhD started. Putting it on record so I can't back out. Here's the plan. #Goals #Accountability #Entrepreneur #PerformancePsychology #AthleteLife

Athletes crash after retirement not because they lose their sport, but because they get too much freedom at once and have no idea what to do with it. During a playing career your time is completely owned by the team. Training, travel, games, recovery. Then retirement hits and suddenly there's 24 hours a day to fill. The bigger that gap between structure and freedom, the worse the identity crisis. The fix is building something alongside your sport before you retire so the gap shrinks. For me it was starting YouTube two thirds of the way through my career. When I retired the transition was manageable because I already had something filling that time with purpose. Three part exercise to find that thing: what are you uniquely good at, what genuinely fascinates you, and where is there a market gap. Where all three overlap is your ideal future self. Even finding two of the three is enough to build a life around.

My focus is on helping you become the best version of yourself in and out of your sport, particularly in transition moments. This channel will include the NC Podcast and an unfiltered look into building a mental performance coaching business, running triathlons (as competitively as I can 😂), and the mental side of sport. My hope is that whether you're still competing or have retired, you'll find content that helps you navigate the complex identity transitions that happen throughout your sporting career and beyond. If you're an athlete thinking about who you are beyond your sport, this channel is for you.

Episode twenty-one. Studio is basically done and it looks insane. Just recorded a podcast episode with Ben Parker, who plays for the Loco Beach Coconuts in Banana Ball. His whole brand in Banana Ball is bodybuilding combined with baseball. No sleeves, absolutely shredded, and genuinely one of the most interesting athlete brand stories I've come across. Flying to Cairns tomorrow for the Ironman 70.3. Dropped from the full to the half because of Salem Oregon four weeks later, the baby, the PhD starting, and just wanting to actually show up well everywhere! Podcast drops July 1. Stay tuned! #bananaball #ironman703 #triathlon ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ I'm Noah Cavanaugh, ex-professional footballer turned triathlete and I work with high performance athletes from all sports.
