Quentin Williams | Identity After Athletics: Coaching for Life Beyond Sports

Episode 60

Quentin Williams is a coach who helps athletes transition to life beyond sports. In this conversation, we discuss Quentin’s background playing football and how experiencing concussions and witnessing related long term negative impacts on other fellow athletes motivated him to help bring awareness to this problem. This includes topics like CTE (chronic traumatic encephalopathy), men’s mental health, and the importance of having compassion. We also talk about the most common struggles that athletes experience when moving on from a career as an athlete (esp. around identity), his coaching business philosophy and structure, and entrepreneurial lessons learned.
