Olympic silver medallist, Four Continents medallist, and national champion, Dylan Moscovitch spent years chasing excellence in a sport defined by precision, pressure, and performance. But what happens when the music stops, the audience fades, and the identity you’ve built is no longer enough?

Dylan reflects on the emotional unravelling of life after elite sport and how he has intentionally rebuilt a deeper, more authentic sense of self beyond the rink.

Key Takeaways

• Don’t wait to figure out who you are - start asking those questions while you’re still competing.
• Identity built on applause, performance, and feedback can feel hollow when the game ends.
• You’re allowed to be more than your sport..
• The courage, grit, and discipline that made you an elite athlete can serve your rebirth.
• Be careful not to outsource your power - no one else knows your path better than you.

Dylan is a guide, speaker, mindset and transition coach. He is the founder of The Liminal Way, the co-founder of Menkind Collective, as well as co-leading TIERRA Viviente and SamatiXobo with his wife, Mariana. They currently reside in Costa Rica, at Yacumama Ecovillage, where they offer a much of their in-person retreat work.
