Ed shares his journey from the "OG American sport" to a high-pressure career in cyber risk at Deloitte, describing the "slow burn" of realizing he was in a career that didn't align with his true strengths. Now an entrepreneur and graduate student, Ed discusses his research into "Athletic Identity Foreclosure" and his mission to help athletes realize they aren't struggling—they are simply overqualified for the "games" they've chosen to play in the corporate world.ChaptersIntroduction to LacrosseThe Road to Notre DameThe "Quick Switch" of RetirementThe NYC "Slow Burn"Identifying the GapResearching "Athletic Identity Foreclosure"The Athlete Edge Alignment SystemThe Roller Coaster of EntrepreneurshipFinal ThoughtsRelevant Links & Contactwebsite assessment, LinkedInFollow The Next Playbook www.TheNextPlaybook.comInstagram | Facebook | LinkedIn | Podcast | Blog
