Late but hope to receive some help.

I’m a professional baseball and might be approaching the end of my career. I’m getting close to the age of 29 and have played baseball pretty much full time since I learned to talk.

I’m finishing my degree on the side while still playing but I just can’t seem to get any fulfillment out of life anymore. Playing ball seems pointless and whatever job I’m considering after baseball isn’t anything I really want to do.

I never envisioned this transition would be this hard. Just can’t decide to give up on the one thing I do well or finally start my new life at something else?

Are their things I could be doing to make myself not feel like such a loser and failure even though I’ve accomplished so much in my life? Just feel like I’m not cut out for a life behind a desk or taking orders, I fear for my happiness and future.

Thanks for the AMA.
