A student-athlete must endure 5-a.m. wake-ups, intense workouts, pressure from coaches and the need to constantly multitask. Kaitlin Doering, a former rower for UCLA, used that experience to build a career. Shes now the human resources manager at an advertising agency in San Francisco,?It was easy to relate to sports because being in HR, youre kind of a coach or a therapist, or youre that kind of person people come to with issues or problems, the 2010 graduate said. In college I was captain of the team, so it was easy for me to relate to all of those things I learned from being in that role into the job I have now, which is really nice.We spoke to the 2010 graduate about her transition from life as a student-athlete to her career in HR.This interview has been edited for length.espnW: How did you feel when you were about to leave college and (essentially) your athletic career? What was going through your mind? Kaitlin Doering:?I was feeling really overwhelmed and bummed out because that had been my focus for so long that I never had a chance to think about what I wanted to do. I guess I just felt really lost. I didnt even know where to start. After I graduated I was like, I have no idea what to do now. It had been my focus for so long. I luckily had my parents who were always super helpful and who helped me find my path and my first job. It was a really hard transition because I never really thought about what I ever wanted to do with my life and what kind of career I wanted to have because I was so focused on rowing.espnW: How did your first couple of years out of college go? What did you do? KD:?When I graduated I actually took a little bit of time off before I started looking for a job just because I was so exhausted. After graduation, I just needed a little break to really figure out what I wanted to do and what field I wanted to go into. I got really lucky when I landed my first job. I worked at an ad agency in LA, its one of the larger ad agencies, and my bosses from that job told me later on that the reason I got that role was because of how well I could talk about rowing and how I could relate it to the job that I got.That was the reason they hired me, because of my background as an athlete and how I was able to relate the 5am practices and multitasking and juglging school with practice. I was able to relate to the job that I applied for.espnW: Since college, what choices have you made to set you up for where you are now?KD:?The biggest thing is that I really waited for the right role for my first job. I didnt just take any job that came along to just have a job. I waited until I felt like I was finding the right thing that I really loved. I knew immediately when I walked into that agency that I was going to love it there and I was going to love my job. Im so glad I did, because I feel like if I had just gone into a different role I wasnt crazy about, I wouldnt have liked what I was doing and then I wouldve felt even more lost and wondering what I should do next. I feel lucky that I waited to find that right role because now each role has led to the next and Ive been able to work my way up to being the HR manager here.espnW: What lessons did you take from being an athlete that have applied to your working life? KD:?There are so many things. I think the biggest things that I keep with me are hard work and dedication. As an athlete, there are just so many different things going on, it just taught me to be super organized, which I think is a really important skill that not a lot of people have but it was something that I learned. Oh my gosh, there are so many things.I think you develop a really good work ethic because, not only are you doing so many different things at the same time, but youre also used to that pain and pushing through that pain. Even now I think about my days as an athlete and how hard they were and how exhausted I was all the time, and I feel lucky that I got to go through that experience. Now, as hard as some days are at my job, its nothing like what I used to go through.The early mornings that really get to people. Its hard to get up at 5 a.m. every morning, an its a very intense sport, so it does take a toll on you. But Im so glad that I did it.espnW: Professionally, what was your first failure? And what did it teach you? KD:?My first job, the one thing I struggled with, I had this boss, and it seemed as if she didnt want me to succeed. She would nitpick the small things that dindt really matter, but then if I did something well she wouldnt say anything. For me, that was a struggle having somebody who was so mean to me.But at the end of the day, I was so used to having - in college I was already so used to not getting compliments by my coach for so long that it didnt really phase me, it just bothered me.espnW: Did you have a strategy to keep sports/fitness in your life? KD:?I like to go to all the exercise classes. I do a lot of Soul Cycle and Barrys Boot Camp. I dont like to work out on my own as much. I like to go to classes where I have an instructor yelling at me because it reminds me of back in the day when I did do sports. I know Im just better in a group exercise class. I stick to the sam routine every week - I go to the same classes on the same days. I also go to a gym by my house. I kept up the routine of working out just because I had done it for so long, I noticed in myself that if I dont work out Im cranky or in a bad mood. I definitely still keep it up - but its not as intense as back in the day.espnW: Whats unique about UCLA thats helped you in your professional life? KD:?UCLA is such a well-known school, especially their athletic program, everybody just knows about it and its something people still ask me about. If I go to an interview and people see it on my resume, people always ask me about it. They always ask me about rowing and about being an athlete and about UCLA. Its a great thing because its such an easy topic for me to talk about.espnW: What do you wish you knew before graduating that you know now? KD:?Dont stress about finding a job, because everything will fall into place. It really does. I do have some friends that took that first role just to take a job, they were stressed about it. And now theyre in a career that they totally hate and dont know how to start over, and youre starting from scratch. I think if I were say to anything, its do not stress. Its so easy to get caught up in that when, if you just wait or you think about what you really want or what youre really interested in and you go for it, then things will just fall into place.Pharrell x adidas NMD Human Race Black .
