After a successful career in sports, retirement can lead to confusion and a lack of identity for athletes.   No matter the circumstances, there is a transition period each athlete goes through to adjust to a new way of life and many find it difficult. Even those who are ready, willing, and prepared hit a slump when the reality of the change in their life hits them. 

In the self-help guide, Success beyond Sport, 2000 Olympian, Annette Huygens-Tholen shares how she overcame the struggles of transition and how her 8 Winning Steps can help readers succeed in a new role. 

It hit Annette Huygens-Tholen when she retired from professional beach volleyball after the Sydney Olympics in 2000.   She did what many athletes do when they reach their dream goal – she didn’t create a new path for herself to follow.   “I kept returning to my sport, because that’s what I knew and loved,”  says Annette.

It took her six years and three times to finally retire! When she retired the third time in early 2007 at age 41, it was for the right reasons--a new passion and new goals. Through study of the mindset and Neuro-Linguistic Programming, Annette discovered the secret keys that could unlock the past and enable her to re-create success in anything she set her mind to.   Now a Master Results Coach, Annette used her experience and education to create an 8-step program to empower other transitioning athletes to do the same for themselves.

In Success beyond Sport shares the story of her own journey during her sporting career, as well as the transition after retirement, which integrates the lessons she learned.  Just as an athlete trained for sport, the book guides athletes through Success Training Exercises, to transform from a retired champion athlete into a champion for life

In this training manual of the mind, readers will learn how to:

• ·         Use the skills, that made them a champion athlete, in the professional world
• ·         Create plans and goals that motivate them as much as competition used to
• ·         View themselves as more than just their sporting history
• ·         Establish priorities and create a game-plan for life

Whether you are an athlete or not, going through change, the lessons in this book will teach and inspire them to new successes.
