Always an Athlete is a comprehensive study of the ways in which athletes climb what author Jenné Blackburn terms ?The Mountain??the journey from youth sports, through high school and college sports, to, finally, professional, and Olympic sports. This steady climb and success over a long period of time, however, sets up athletes for an inevitable fall off ?The Cliff? upon their retirement from competition. To help athletes in transition, Blackburn identifies ?Three Pillars of the Cliff??Mental Health, Physical Health, and Athlete Identity?and describes the issues that athletes have in each of these areas after they retire. After training, sacrificing, and devoting years, even decades, to a sport, athletes at every level will struggle within these three pillars. Blackburn believes that athletes must evolve from a competition mindset to a wellness mindset and match their new lifestyles in order to soften this transition into the real world. Fortunately, the ?Inner Athlete? honed over many years of training and competition can show up as a ?Parachute? as athletics recede, and other priorities rise to the forefront of their new life. Ultimately, Blackburn proposes cycling as a foundation and universal tool to help retired athletes resolve a lingering loss of identity, mental health issues, such as anxiety and depression, and complications due to unchanged diet and exercise habits when they transition out of a performance-purposed existence. She advocates for fun community bike rides adjacent to sporting events and franchises to bring sports communities together around this critical yet overlooked topic for all athletes: life after competitive sports.
