Reply to "What comes after college athletics and loss of identity"

I think the important piece is a person can't wait till the end of their "career" to try and re-define themselves. They have to realize early on, and mainly this responsibility falls on the adults in their lives, that baseball (or insert any activity here) is something that they do, it's not who they are. We tell our kids that even with a HOF career, they're going to be an ex-baseball player a lot longer than they're a baseball player. 

And, RJM, I'm going to steal you're retort to the "what do you do?" question. Very well played.
