Tara Wells On Who You Are When The Sport Is Gone


Learn the mindset and moves that lead to real results. Please visit my website to get more information: http://diversifiedgame.com/

Today on Diversified Game, Kellen sits down with Tara Wells, LCSW, founder of Finish Line Mindset, a sports social work practice built to protect the mental health of athletes at every level. Tara breaks down why the money in professional sports is rarely what it looks like from the outside, why she walked away from insurance entirely because of clawbacks, and why the real work with her clients starts with one question, who are you without the sport. She also gets into the minority stress model, the BIPOC athlete experience, and why her University of Michigan sports social work certificate changed how she sees the field. If you are studying social work, working with athletes, or just tired of hearing that mental health work does not pay, this one is for you.
