In this solo episode, Tyler dives into what it really means to be still — and how stillness can feel like both healing and heartbreak. From life after basketball to post-concussion recovery, he opens up about the moments when slowing down felt like losing himself… and how he learned to turn stillness into growth.

On this episode of Still Becoming, I dive into one of the most important — and invisible — parts of healing: the way we talk to ourselves.

After stepping away from basketball, my inner voice turned against me. Doubt, fear, and shame took over — and I didn’t even realize how loud it had become. This episode is all about recognizing that inner dialogue, learning to reframe it, and slowly building a voice that supports rather than destroys.

From personal stories to practical tools, this one’s real, raw, and a reminder that how we speak to ourselves matters more than we think.

In this powerful continuation of Still Becoming, Tyler Sagl opens up about the emotional aftermath of the playoff game that ended his basketball career. He takes listeners inside the raw, confusing weeks that followed — where identity, purpose, and self-worth all came into question. Tyler reflects on the pressure to “be fine,” the moment he realized he couldn’t go back, and the turning point that helped him begin to rediscover who he was beyond the sport.

With brutal honesty and deep vulnerability, this episode explores grief, isolation, and the long, non-linear path toward healing — and how one book, a supportive coach, and quiet reflection helped light the way forward.
