Episode 11
In Episode 11 of Life After Fame, our guest Dymonte Thomas talks about “getting used to being uncomfortable” and the importance of perseverance when faced with a transition in your life. In 2020, Thomas’ NFL professional football career ended when the Denver Broncos released him. The emotional toll he went through after his three-year stint as a Bronco challenged him to redefine himself. He went from a two-sport star to transitioning to a life out of sports. Today, he is involved in real estate and owns a sports performance training company, the Dymonte Thomas Sports Academy, https://dtsportsacademy.com, to help develop the next generation of athletes using science-backed performance training and firsthand knowledge of being a professional athlete. Throughout the podcast, the hosts and Thomas emphasize the importance of a competitive mindset in sports and life. They encourage listeners to tap into the mindset of working hard to achieve success, even when facing obstacles or competition. The Life After Fame podcast offers a unique perspective on the journey of public figures and the challenges they face beyond their professional careers. Thomas’s insights and experiences provide valuable life lessons for anyone looking to achieve their goals. Please subscribe, share and if you liked this video please give us a big thumbs up!
