Athletes are often defined by how they perform, but what happens when performance is no longer the focus?

In this episode of Beyond Her Game, Tori Barker sits down with Tara Wells, LCSW and founder of Finish Line Mindset, to talk about mental health for athletes, identity beyond sport, and navigating the transition into life after competition.

This conversation is for current and former athletes, as well as coaches, parents, and professionals who support female athletes through every stage of their journey.
