Most of the time we are introduced to athletes at the top of their game, but in our all-new series 'Beginner's Guide,' we meet them in the middle when they’re already excelling in their field, game to go all-in on (or forge) an entirely new path.
Through the series we not only are able to live vicariously through our pro athlete's experience as they step out of their comfort zone to have some fun, but we also are able to seize the opportunity to embrace a 'beginner's mindset' by following the same step-by-step guide ourselves.
After all, whoever we are, we all have to start somewhere.
