Luca Karl: Confessions of a professional athlete and swimmer

In this episode we will meet Luca Karl, who is a professional athlete and swimmer, competing in 800m and 1500m freestyle.
Swimming has been an influential part of his life already during his early childhood days. Since then he kept moving from regional to national and finally international rankings, smashing records, and constantly improving on his performance.
But none of this comes for free. It deserves extreme dedication, clearly set targets and goals as well as the energy to keep on pushing forward despite the fact that the training might be boring or your friends might be having a good time on Friday evening, joining a party.
An extremely inspirational story of a young professional athlete, who has found his Northstar.

The Top 5 key takeaways from his story:

If you are aiming to achieve big things it is probably good to wake up early every morning, smelling the coffee.
Some sports practices can be very boring. Take it with a smile and fool around with your teammates from time to time in order to lighten up the spirit.
Whatever you do in life - is it sports or business - set yourself a specific, clearly defined goal and work towards it. It will serve as Northstar and keep you on course during challenging times.
Don´t underestimate the power of visualization. Visualize the upcoming race, negotiation, speech, etc. as it will prepare you in the best possible way.
Get away from social media from time to time. Just take a break. One example is to lie down on your bed for 10 minutes and briefly reflect on what has been good or bad during the day.
