Jack Posey | Athlete Identity, Injury, and Purpose Beyond the Game
In this episode, we sit down with professional lacrosse player and coach Jack Posey, whose journey from a finance and business background into elite sport is anything but linear. From being honored as the "Ultimate Teammate" at Penn State with the prestigious #11 jersey, to navigating the mental and physical toll of an ACL injury, Jack opens up about the pivotal moments that reshaped his identity as both an athlete and a coach.
We explore:
The mindset shift from injury to opportunity
What the #11 jersey really means at Penn State
His journey to being drafted by the Carolina Chaos post-injury
Coaching philosophies and redefining performance
Athlete identity beyond sport, and how to evolve when the game ends
This episode is a raw and powerful insight into the highs, lows, and redefining moments of a career in sport—and what remains when the potential arises that it might all get stripped away...
We hope you enjoy. We would love to hear any feedback or thoughts on the episode!
