By recognizing that the end of your sports career is the natural evolution of any and all sports careers. You are lucky to have an end that is predictable and known to you.
Many athletes step of the field, track, court, and mat for the last time without even knowing that they would never play or compete again.
You are focusing on what you are losing and not what you are gaining. At a minimum, a bunch of time to do things that you didn't have time for before.
The end of sports creates space in your life for you to fill it with new things that you love and bring joy to your life.
