Rachel Imison on Advice to others about transition

Life after sport can be a time of great challenge for many athletes. This life process is known as Transition. Post the Beijing Olympics a number of Victorian Institute of Sport athletes with significant sporting experience decided to retire from their sport. This project aims to glean the experience and wisdom from athletes who competed at the highest levels along with learning about their life management skills. This project records the interviews and stories of 5 athletes to share with the broader athlete cohort. Athletse included are Grant Hackett, Catherine Arlove, Don Elgin, Travis Brooks, and Rachel Imison.

Key messages to share with other athletes, that they now know about transition from sport at the elite level which would be helpful to share with other athletes and coaches and support staff.
