Being a student athlete can easily become one’s identity. From working to get good grades mainly for sports, to working day in and day out with a team for years that become like a family. When that gets taken away, it can be devastating learning how to live life outside of being a student athlete.
Conor Baucum grew up playing lacrosse and continued to play all throughout college. Not only was the sport basically his entire life, it was his identity. When he graduated college, navigating life and not being a student athlete wasn’t easy. After college, he started out working in the finance industry and went on to find the team environment he longed for at a tech company. Most recently, Conor has been consulting with entrepreneurs helping them to scale their businesses.
