On today's episode, we will be looking at the legendary career of Sue Bird. 
She is a well-known professional basketball player in the WNBA (Women's National Basketball Association). She has had an illustrious career, known for her exceptional skills as a point guard and her leadership on the court. Bird has played for the Seattle Storm throughout her WNBA career and has also been a prominent player on the United States women's national basketball team, winning multiple Olympic gold medals. 

In this episode, we will share three lessons from her career journey:
1. There is more to physical performance: While physical performance is essential for athletes, it's important to recognize that there are other critical elements at play. All the different aspects that contribute to the physical performance of an athlete are important such as Nutrition, Fitness, Sleep, Rest, Recovery etc
2. Prepare for life after sport: Preparing for life after sport is crucial for athletes to ensure a smooth transition into retirement or a career transition. You are not going to play forever. There is always going to be a retirement and you need to prepare for life after sport. Remember you can't play your sport forever. Start planning your post-athletic endeavors.
3. You never know who is watching: Every action, on and off the field, reflects not just personal character but also impacts the team, fans, and potential sponsors. Every opportunity you get to play, you need to take it seriously, you never know who is watching you.
