Who are you without the Game?

In Episode 8 of After the Game, I sat down with Christopher Belin, a senior at Piedmont University, a former Piedmont men’s soccer player, and a film production major for a conversation about identity beyond athletics. 

Together, they discuss the transition many athletes face when their playing career ends and the routines, roles, and identity tied to sports begin to change. Christopher shares his perspective on navigating life after the game and how he’s discovering who he is beyond the field.

What is After the Game?

After the Game is a podcast hosted by Jailyn Green that explores life beyond sports. Through honest conversations with former athletes, the show dives into the emotional and mental journey of transitioning away from competition, when routines end, identities shift, and a new chapter begins. After the Game highlights growth, mental health, and purpose, reminding listeners that while the game may end, the journey continues on.
