Finding Yourself Beyond Sports with Anna Marcolin

  • Summary

  • Do you find it difficult to define yourself beyond your sport? As athletes, we often identify ourselves with our sport and struggle to find our identity outside of it. In this episode, we sit down with psychotherapist Anna Marcolin to explore this topic and learn about her own journey in finding her identity beyond sports. Anna shares her love for sports and how she believes that athletes should enjoy every moment of their sport and be consistent while being easier on oneself. She emphasizes the importance of sports being fun and rewarding work for doing hard stuff. Anna talks about her favorite and worst races and shares her personal obstacle of getting divorced with three small children. The conversation also touches on the topic of eating disorders and how it is not about the food but the meaning attached to the way the body looks. Anna advises athletes to show themselves grace, slow down, and not always be so competitive. She tells her athletes to focus on their process and consistency, not the end goal, and to put blinders on, look straight ahead, and focus on themselves.
