Back at it. Balanced & Ready to Reconnect
A lot has happened since we last talked. Life ebbed and flowed -- bringing about changes I was expecting, longing for and some that put a pit in my stomach. I do love adventures and took a lot of these changes in stride. But some put me on my ass and I took that as a sign to rest, listen to my body and find new ways to ease my mind when my body wasn’t working.
In these pauses, I kept coming back to my clients, my passion and wanting to figure out what the next version of this work would look like. There were some fleeting ideas, dreamy ones and then eventually, one that felt just right. It would challenge me to work in new ways -- alongside a job I really love where I get to coach and lead and help so many folks in transition through their cancer journey at Thyme Care -- and would allow me to reconnect with folks in the sports space, which I deeply miss in my day to day.
Energy isn’t the limited resource -- but time certainly is with a full-time job. I realize I’m not the only busy one, most athletes are on grueling, unusual schedules, traveling constantly and often may not have a full hour to spare once or twice a month for coaching. This work does require a bit of trust and building that can’t be done async either. So I developed a hybrid approach that allows for direct lines of communication - no group offerings for now - while still maintaining flexibility for life to carry on.
I would love your help in finding 3-5 current or actively retiring athletes to test out the new model for free. The only requirement is completing the 3 months while providing open and honest feedback about the experience. If you or someone in your world would be interested in piloting this with me for the next 3 months, feel free to email me (amanda@amandahazer.com).
I’ll also be in NYC for the month of September, let’s meet up if you’ll be there!
A NEW OFFER FOR ACTIVE ATHLETES
Build clarity and confidence for what's next, before your playing career ends.
Through an asynchronous, vlog-style coaching experience, you'll begin exploring your identity beyond sport, uncover what excites you, and create a vision for your next chapter, all on your own schedule.
THE PROBLEM
Every athlete reaches a transition. Most aren't ready.
When playing days end, the questions hit hard and fast: Who am I outside of this sport? What do I actually want? What's next? The athletes who navigate this best are the ones who started asking those questions early — while the stakes were still low.
During transitions, it's easy to play it safe, push off these conversations for your future self, and delay thinking about what you actually want and why.
But traditional coaching takes time you don't have mid-season. This is a different approach.
THE OFFER
Async vlog coaching — expert, curated prompts — all at your pace.
Each week, you receive a curated reflection prompt from Amanda, informed by your initial conversations and refined over time. You record a short 2–5 min video response on your own time. No calendar conflicts. No commute. No pressure.
Over 3 months, you build a personal library of honest, unscripted reflections — a journal of this chapter you can return to for years.
Topics we cover:
Mental — Identity, mindset, and who you are off the field
Emotional — Processing pressure, fear of endings, and what drives you
Physical — Your relationship with your body beyond performance
The Game — What it gave you, what you'll carry, and what you're ready to let go
HOW IT WORKS
Simple. Structured. Entirely on your terms.
1. Intro call We start with a conversation about your goals, where you are, and what you want to explore. This shapes everything that follows.
2. Weekly curated prompts Each week you receive a prompt crafted specifically for your journey — not a generic questionnaire. Thoughtful questions from someone who knows big transitions.
3. Record your vlog entry 2–5 minutes. Honest, unscripted, for you. This becomes your private archive of this chapter of your life.
4. Three months of async support Over 12 weeks, you build clarity, direction, and a personal record of your transition — one reflection at a time.
WHY NOW
The best time to prepare is while you're still playing.
Exploring what's next while the stakes are low is a gift. You have the space to be curious — about business ideas, outside interests, identity, relationships — without urgency or panic. This experience doesn't rush the process. It walks alongside you, so when the time comes, you're not starting from zero.
THE VALUE
Curated reflections, actionable next steps and resources to meet you where you’re at.
Amanda’s expertise, focused attention, intentional & flexible time and her resources bring a sense of ease and warmth to tough conversations to get you to your next step.
Co-developed, relevant-to-your-life goals
Individually curated prompts
Pattern recognition through honest conversations
Personalized feedback
Broad network of former athletes, entrepreneurs, venture capitalists and support that props you up wherever you are on your journey!
