DOUG'S WORDS OF WISDOM:
"The experience and lessons learned while training and competing are directly relevant to the real world. The difficult part is making the transition. Take advantage of all help offered, and begin thinking about the future and taking action early."

"Start thinking about possible post-athletic career options and plan for the transition early."
