from DIVERSIFIED GAME · host Kellen Kash Cache Coleman

Tara Wells On Who You Are When The Sport Is GoneLearn the mindset and moves that lead to real results. Please visit my website to get more information: http://diversifiedgame.com/Today on Diversified Game, Kellen sits down with Tara Wells, LCSW, founder of Finish Line Mindset, a sports social work practice built to protect the mental health of athletes at every level. Tara breaks down why the money in professional sports is rarely what it looks like from the outside, why she walked away from insurance entirely because of clawbacks, and why the real work with her clients starts with one question, who are you without the sport. She also gets into the minority stress model, the BIPOC athlete experience, and why her University of Michigan sports social work certificate changed how she sees the field. If you are studying social work, working with athletes, or just tired of hearing that mental health work does not pay, this one is for you.Connect with Tara Wells and Finish Line Mindset:Website: https://www.finishlinemindset.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/finishlinemindset/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tarawellslcsw/Also searched as: Tara Wells sports social work interview, Tara Wells athlete mental health, Tara Wells insurance clawbacks, Tara Wells Finish Line Mindset podcast🔔𝐃𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐮𝐛𝐬𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐛𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐲 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐥 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐮𝐩𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬. https://www.youtube.com/@DiversifiedGamePodcast/?sub_confirmation=1Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/profile?u=15553364Facebook: https://web.facebook.com/GAMEDIVERSIFIED/Twitter/X: https://x.com/gamediversifiedLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/gamediversifiedWebsite: http://diversifiedgame.com/Business inquiries: [email protected] more:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBJSpSxBBuAhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmxmzwnhZ3whttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQrzgwornbIhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K3PsTkobKKEhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PnqZniYw-0kRelated Phrases: This Is Why You're Not A Millionaire Yet, Hard Truths You Need To Hear, Entrepreneurship Motivation, Success Habits Daily, Real Talk About Wealth, Best Side Hustles For 2025, Millionaire Success Lessons, How To Become Wealthy, Mindset Shift For Money, Daily Millionaire Routine, What Stops You From Success, Rich Vs Poor Habits, Millionaire Morning Routine, Business Growth TruthDGP&x% 👊🏿
