What No One Tells You About Your First Year After College Sport

A Trauma-Informed Guide for Former College Athletes Navigating the Transition Out of Sport

No one really prepares you for what happens after sport ends. If you find yourself questioning your identity, struggling with rest, feeling lost without the structure, or wondering why this transition feels harder than anyone said it would, this was written for you. This guide is for the first 0–12 months after sport when things feel unsteady, confusing, or emotionally louder than expected. This EBOOK is meant to be a starting point to help you understand what’s happening beneath the surface as you transition to post-sport life.

The Athlete’s Guide to Nervous System Recovery

Athletes are often taught how to train, compete, and push through challenges, but rarely taught how to support the nervous system that drives performance and recovery. If recovery feels challenging, time is limited, or your current routine isn't giving your system what it needs to perform, adapt, and feel its best, this was written for you. This guide is for current athletes navigating the demands of training, competition, stress, pressure, expectations, and life outside of sport. This EBOOK is meant to be a starting point to help you explore recovery through a new lens and better understand the role your nervous system plays in performance, recovery, and overall well-being.

  • "IMPACTED MY LIFE ON AND OFF THE LACROSSE FIELD"

    “I have been working with Emily since early 2022. Emily has help me immensely in my mental performance training, which has impacted my life in ways on and off the lacrosse field. As someone who has struggled with self limiting thoughts throughout my career, Emily has guided me on developing the skills of mindfulness, awareness, and self compassion. There is no doubt that our work together has allowed me to take my game to another level, and helped me learn to work with my inner dialogues. I would highly recommend Emily for any athlete.”

  • "HELPED ME NAVIGATE SOME OF MY TOUGHEST MOMENTS...AND HELPED ME DEVELOP HOLISTICALLY AS A HUMAN"

    "Having known Emily for the past 5 years, I can not express enough how grateful I am to not only work with her, but be connected to her. Outside of being my go to person in the Mindfulness space and representing her work in my events and business Lax Lab - Mission Primed, she has helped me as an athlete and person immensely. Throughout my career, she has been a consistent voice in guiding me. Not only has she helped me navigate some of my toughest moments, but she has helped me develop holistically as a human. Specifically, Emily has expanded my knowledge in the space of nervous system health, recovery and stress management, as well as breathwork. I am grateful to call her a colleague, friend, and mentor."

  • "ALLOWED OUR GUYS TO BECOME MORE MINDFUL COMPETITORS; BETTER ABLE TO COMMIT TO THE MOMENT, MANAGE DISTRACTIONS, AND OVERCOME ADVERSITY"

    “Emily Perrin took over as our Duke Baseball Team Yoga Instructor in August of 2019. Just a few months later we added in a Mindfulness Training Program to her work with our guys. The impact on our program has been dramatic. Emily’s experience as a former D1 student-athlete provided instant credibility with our guys. That said the heart and soul she puts into our program has endeared her even more to our athletes. Our guys see her as a mentor, a resource, and a sounding board. The skillset they have learned from the Wellness Performance Program has allowed our guys to become more mindful competitors; better able to commit to the moment by learning to manage distractions and overcome adversity. I am grateful for the role that Emily has played and continues to play in developing our guys, not only as athletes but as people.”
