About this listen
In this episode of ExpandAbilities MEETS, Alex and Rob dive into the topic of quitting—what it looks like in sports, why it happens, and how it shows up beyond the mat and the field. Using a recent wrestling tournament experience as a starting point, the conversation explores how frustration, fatigue, and mindset can cause athletes to mentally check out when things get hard.
The discussion expands into today’s culture of specialization, the decline of multi-sport athletes, and whether quitting has become an easier option when challenges arise. Alex and Rob also examine the ripple effect quitting can create in careers, relationships, and long-term commitment.
The episode closes by highlighting the critical role coaches play in preventing quitting by building strong culture, fostering connection, and helping athletes feel valued regardless of results.
