When someone asks a student-athlete about what career path they will follow, a usual response could be going pro or that they will figure that out after they are done playing. What tends to happen with those student-athletes could be frustration and disappointment with a choice they wish they would have spent more time planning that they did. Knowing your career path is not an issue necessarily when someone is in school, but it becomes an issue when that is the issue. Adam Viet (https://twitter.com/adamvietDSM) again joins Nate Clayberg (https://twitter.com/NateClayberg) to consider the resources available in researching possible career paths following graduation and competitive athletic participation. It can be hard to figure out what path to follow, but reverse engineering your career can give you a light to follow. Are you a current or former collegiate Student-Athlete wondering about your path?
