Taj Dashaun joins Michael Rasile on For the Love of Sports to discuss his football career, what he went through after it ended, and how he was able to pick himself up to help others do the same. Taj played D1 football at Stoney Brook University and after he realized he wasn't going pro he fell into drinking and depression. Playing this sport and recognizing it as a significant piece of his personality for almost 20 years hurt when it was taken away. Taj was able to pick himself up and get better at dealing with the end of his playing career, and once he did, he noticed many of his friends were going through the same thing. This led Taj to become an Athlete Transition Coach where he helps athletes after their careers end cope with what comes next in life!

In this episode of the I Am A Champion show, the guys are joined by Coaches Steven McRoberts, and Taj Dashaun to discuss how we can thrive through transitions in both life and sports. In 25 years as a collegiate head coach, including 17 at the Division I level, Steven McRoberts owns a 619-265 (.700) overall record with 23 winning seasons and 19 years with 20 or more victories. He ended the 2021 season ranked 19th among active Division I coaches in total victories and 26th in winning percentage. A 10-time conference coach of the year, McRoberts' teams have won a combined 13 conference regular season, tournament, and national postseason tournament titles. He has mentored a total of 20 All-Americans, 70 all-conference players, 11 conference players of the year, 12 Academic All-Americans, and 29 total specialty award winners at the conference level. McRoberts came to Missouri State after a six-year tenure at Ole Miss, where he posted a 111-82 record and guided the Rebels to the 2017 National Invitational Volleyball Championship title, the first postseason national championship for any program in the school's history. He has also coached at the University of Tulsa, University of Central Arkansas, and Lubbock Christian University. He has been married for 18 years to his lovely bride, Stacy, and they have three kids: Jackson (17), Mollie (14), and Nate (9) Taj Dashaun is an Author, Speaker, and Athlete Transition Coach. When his football career ended, Taj struggled heavily with depression. Because he was so focused on the game, he never fully developed a clear vision for his life. After several years of stumbling around in the emotional darkness of uncertainty, Taj began to take his eyes off of himself and focus on serving others. He now runs holistic programs for retired athletes who, like he once was, are struggling to adapt to life after the game. Not only does Taj help former players land jobs and start businesses, he helps them find fulfillment in every area of their lives. It's become his personal mission and passion to reach out and help others overcome the fear, frustration and uncertainty associated with life post-athletics. Taj is also the host of the Thrive After Sports podcast, which is available on all podcast platforms.

When his football career ended, Taj struggled heavily with depression during a time where the vocabulary did not yet exist to discuss topics like this- especially for a Black, male athlete. Like many student-athletes, because he was so focused on the game, he never fully developed a clear vision for his life. After several years of struggle, Taj began to take his eyes off of himself and focused on serving others. He now runs holistic programs for retired athletes who, like he once was, are struggling to adapt to life after the game. Not only does Taj help former players land jobs and start businesses, he helps them find fulfillment in every area of their lives. It has become his personal mission and passion to reach out and help others overcome the fear, frustration and uncertainty associated with life post-athletics. Thanks for tuning in!

Today's guest is Taj Dashaun, Athlete Career Transition Coach and host of the podcast Thrive After Sports. When Taj first stepped away from the game he loved he struggled heavily with depression. He had never fully developed a clear vision of his life after football. Taj knew he wanted to get a good job, make money, and be successful, but felt lost and overwhelmed having no idea how he would do that and what to do with his life.  After several years of stumbling around in the emotional darkness of uncertainty, Taj decided to move the focus away from himself and look to serving others. Once Taj found his focus he created an intensive program for retired athletes who are struggling to adapt to life after sports. It has become his mission and passion to reach out and help others overcome the fear, frustration, and uncertainty associated with life post athletics. Listen in and hear how Taj has helped athletes approach, navigate, and successfully move into the next phase of their lives. You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in...

*Copied from @dustymattison on Instagram: @tajdashaun is an Athlete Transition Coach and host of the podcast Thrive After Sports. His passion is helping athletes transition from their time wearing the jersey to the “career world”. He believes you need to process your experience as an athlete before you can start the work of figuring out your next steps. Many athletes feel lost once they hang up their uniform, but having someone doing this important work makes a huge difference. It makes the transition a little less daunting. Thank you Taj for all the amazing work you're doing! Please go give him a follow and check out his link in bio to learn more about his book and podcast.

We discuss the importance of taking the time to process and to teach balance post-sports.

There are a ton of athletes out there, maybe you're one of them, who have dedicated their life to their sport. They have spent hours physically training, practicing, studying film, etc. to optimize their potential to get to the highest level of what they do. Even when athletes do achieve the peak of their performance and get to the professional or Olympic level, their career does come to an end in their 30's or 40's. The issue with this is that after ALL this dedication, they still have decades of life left and for most athletes who make it only to the college level, they are stuck without a lot of other options besides going into the "real world". Unfortunately, in a lot of instances, athletes do not know what to do after sports. They have not thought of the future, they haven't been told to think of the future, and they are left without much direction. This is exactly what Taj Dashaun helps athletes with and it's what we talk about on this podcast. We talk about creating new routines, finding your purpose, finding your new sport within life and how to kill it on a daily basis to win.

Juwan Rohan is a progressive entrepreneur from the Bay Area. ‘Progressive,' meaning he is continuing to grow his businesses and learn so that he can OWN and not be owned. Juwan graduated from Colorado College with a bachelor's in Psychology and a minor in Spanish. He was a student- athlete who played four years on the basketball team for the Colorado College Tigers. After graduating, Juwan worked the traditional 9-5 but was curious about how to build generational wealth. After tons of research, he knew that the stock market and real estate market was a common theme to wealth building. In order to invest, he knew he wanted more cash flow, so he started a few businesses; a Car Rental Company, Til Infinity Clothing, Real Estate Agent, Vallejo Prime Mobile Notary, Music, and The Misguided Podcast, with tons of other endeavors in the process as his book was being written. Juwan noticed the lack of financial education from the school system, so today; he strives to guide people to a better future by teaching financial literacy. Thanks for tuning in!

Madeline Barlow, PhD, dedicated 14 years to the sport of swimming, leaving her with a deep understanding of the mental side of sport—from the most magical moments to the darkest disappointments. As a doctoral student in Exercise & Sport Psychology at Temple University, Madeline conducted research on athletic identity and the transition out of sport, two aspects of her swimming career that affected her long after she touched the wall of her final race. Years later, on her personal healing journey, Madeline learned she was a highly sensitive person and has since recognized this trait in a majority of the individual athletes she supports as the mental performance coach for a Division I University. Now, as the founder of Mind-Wise Mentoring LLC and with more than 20 combined years as an athlete, sport psychology professional, and seeker of personal growth, Madeline is the creator of The Mind-Wise Method, her signature mind-body healing program for athletes and high achievers. This program combines Reiki Energy Healing and Human Design with the support of mentoring as her clients learn to embody the magic of their true Self!

Danny White from www.MentalFitness.CARE sits down with Taj Dashaun, Athlete Transition Specialist and Business Coach to discuss Athlete Mental Health. Taj's Story: When I first stepped away from the game I love, I struggled heavily with depression. I had never fully developed a clear vision for my life after football. I knew I wanted to get a “good job,” make “a ton of money” and be “successful,” but I felt lost and overwhelmed having no idea what I wanted to do with my life. There was constant chatter in my head: "What's the best career path for me? Why am I not hearing back from any of these jobs I'm applying for? Should I go back to school for an MBA? Should I start my own business? How do I even start a business?" After several years of stumbling around in the emotional darkness of uncertainty, I began to take my eyes off of myself and focus on serving others. I now run an intensive program for retired athletes who are struggling to adapt to life after sports. It's become my personal mission and passion to reach out and help others overcome the fear, frustration, and uncertainty associated with life post-athletics. I am also the host of the Thrive After Sports podcast, which is available on all platforms. About www.MentalFitness.CARE We are the unifying platform for Athlete Mental Health. Teaming up with Athletes and Mental Fitness professionals to create authentic connections between Providers and Patients.

Dartanyon Crockett was born in inner-city Cleveland, OH. Raised in a neighborhood filled with consistent violence, Dartanyon managed to maintain unconditional compassion toward others. In high school he crossed paths with a young man by the name of Leroy Sutton who shared this virtue. The power and beauty of their friendship managed to resonate across the world, thanks to the help of ESPN producer, Lisa Fenn. Who eventually became a part of their unlikely family. The airing of their 2009 documentary “Carry On” aided Dartanyon in pursuing a career as a U.S. Paralympian in the sport of judo. As a Paralympic athlete Dartanyon also began to build a career in inspirational speaking. Dartanyon's speaking career has led him to pursue knowledge and insight from the fields of social work, sociology, as well as education. While stepping in to his new career as a sociologist, serving as a Program Manager for YESS, Dartanyon has grown to become an expert in the area of recovery and resilience. Dartanyon addresses these concepts by generalizing knowledge from his lived international experience as an athlete, coach and speaker and his sociological and trauma informed research.
