Youth really is wasted on the young, or good knees are wasted on the young.
All right, we got to snap out of it because there is a healthier approach out there.
Starting with this, athletes are reframing how we think about retiring.
Carly's doing it, and so is Serena Williams.
When she talked about the end of her tennis career, she didn't even use the word retirement.
She called it evolution.
All these things that make an athlete great, continually learning lessons, constant refinement, pushing yourself, maybe they're the answer to the what next question.
It's hard to overstate how much the whole retiring on your own terms thing is really critical.
Carly got to do that, and it has helped her transition.
She's also got a healthy mindset, as you've learned.
But for other athletes, as you're probably noticing for me, it can be much more abrupt.
If injury forces you to grapple with what comes next before you're really ready to, it can feel more like a void, not a transition.
When I've thought about the void left by the end of playing high-level sports, I've often thought, well, maybe I can just fill it with some other sport, some other athletic activity.

I have to find some way to keep playing.
But maybe one answer is to jump into another lane entirely.
Take that drive and love of competition to a whole new pursuit.
Something like cooking.
This is Dawn Burrell.
Wait a minute, you're more than just a chef.
