Hello Chayse,
It sounds like you're juggling a lot of interests, which is a great place to be! There are many great career paths for athletes, and the best one for you will depend on your interests, skills, and goals.
Additionally, if you're interested in being an electrician, that's a great option! It's a skilled trade with good job prospects. As an athlete, you have several options:
1. Electrician: Since you're already exploring this field, it's a solid career with good earning potential and job stability. It also offers flexibility to pursue sports on the side.
2. Sports-Related Careers: You could explore careers that allow you to stay connected with sports, such as:
- Physical Therapist or Athletic Trainer: Helping athletes recover from injuries could be a fulfilling path, combining your love for sports with a medical background.
- Sports Coach or Trainer: You could mentor others in your sports of choice.
- Sports Management: Working behind the scenes in the business of sports can offer a rewarding career, especially if you’re interested in leadership.
3. Technology and Engineering: Since you're in a tech center, you might also consider technical careers in sports, like working with sports technology (e.g., designing sports equipment, and sports analytics).
You’ve got a lot of potential directions. Maybe combining sports with your tech interest, like working in a field that connects both, could be a win!
Best wishes!

I'd definitely suggest keeping sports as a part of your life outside work. You could consider coaching at places like the YMCA or even local schools. Fun fact, my first job was teaching volleyball at a nearby middle school during one summer!
There's a ton of ways to stay active. Pursuing a trade career might give you more flexibility to engage in sports, particularly if you're really good at what you do and become your own boss.
Here's to your success!
