Author: Daniel Braun July 23, 2025 Duration: 55:09
In this episode of the Braun Performance & Rehab Podcast, Dan is joined by Alyssa Hermann to discuss her company Beyond the Athlete and life transition for athletes following sport. Alyssa Hermann is the CEO of Beyond the Athlete, a former athlete, Registered Nurse, and board-certified coach. Her mission is to help retiring and former athletes create fulfilling, sustainable post-athletic lives. Everything she shares comes from her own experiences, extensive research, and insights from working with countless former athlete clients. Beyond the Athlete was founded by two former athletes with a mission to support others through the transition out of sports. With a combined background in nursing, coaching, and high-level competition, we know what it feels like to lose structure and drive after sport ends. Our work blends professional training with real-life experience to help former athletes like you rebuild confidence, create structure, and find direction that fits life now.For more on Alyssa and Beyond the Athlete be sure to check out @_beyondtheathlete & @alyssahermann_ & https://www.beyondtheathlete.net/
