Ep 1: Welcome To The Mental Locker Room Part I: Life After Sports | With Tesh Johnson
What happens when the game is over but life goes on?
In the first episode of The Mental Locker Room Podcast, former athletes Dr. C and Tesh Johnson dive into the emotional, mental, and professional challenges athletes face when stepping away from the game.

You’ll hear real stories and actionable insights on how to:
- Forge a new identity after athletics
- Use discipline and mindset to fuel personal and business growth
- Begin defining your purpose and legacy before your career ends
- Leverage community, mentorship, and athlete transition programs for support
- Turn pain points into powerful platforms for athlete entrepreneurship or motivational speaking
