Overview

What happens after the ""first dream"" ends? For years, the rhythm of life was defined by the game: the practices, the pressure, and the singular identity of being an athlete. But when the jersey is hung up for the last time and the roar of the crowd fades, a different, quieter challenge begins. Hey Nico, Got a Minute? is a series of intimate, honest reflections from a father to his son during a pivotal first year away at college. It is a record of the ""messy middle""-the space between walking away from a lifelong passion and discovering who you are without it. This is not a book of motivational slogans. It is a steady voice of companionship for anyone facing the ""imposter syndrome"" of a new environment, the weight of high expectations, and the realization that growth often feels like a struggle before it feels like a victory. Written with warmth, humor, and deep vulnerability, these reflections explore: The Identity Pivot: How to redefine yourself when the thing you were ""best at"" is no longer your primary path. The ""Stretch Marks"" of Growth: Why the discomfort of the first semester isn't a sign of failure, but a sign of expansion. The Three Circles: A framework for balancing what we want, what we expect, and what is actually real. Presence Over Perfection: Finding meaning in the small, daily choices that build a life rather than the single moments that define it. Perfect for student-athletes in transition, parents of college-aged children, or anyone standing between who they used to be and who they are becoming now. Hey Nico, Got a Minute? reminds us that while one chapter may have closed, the most important story is only just beginning. It's never too late to start the next version of yourself.
