And also, you know, post-career, I talk about my experiences then and depression and so on.

This can affect anybody and actually affects a lot of athletes from that extreme.

You're in the extreme tunnel, stress, goals, and then it's suddenly gone.

Huberman Lab

So you don't have this goal that was like, in a way, giving you a lot of dopamine.

Huberman Lab

You can go to the gym, but there's no...

Huberman Lab

There's no purpose now, really.

Huberman Lab
Build Muscle & Strength & Forge Your Life Path | Dorian Yates

I was only 35.

It's like, you know, when a guy retires at 60, even if he's just been working in a bank or whatever, it's very often that they get depressed because they're going to work every day and they don't have this, you know, it's not a mission, but they don't have this routine anymore.

Huberman Lab

They don't know what they're supposed to do with their time.

Huberman Lab

Imagine the intensity of an athlete and then that's not there anymore.

Huberman Lab

So it took me time to change the mindset from, oh, look what I've lost.

And I don't know who I am anymore because I was the king and now I'm not or whatever.
