In JohnChat EP33, on a hectic morning, host John invites two standout former students who came up through sports-track classes and a sports science program: Ai-Di (founder of Ju-Dian Café, 聚點咖啡) and Ivan, now a PE teacher. In this episode, John puts forward a provocative educational claim: “Every class should be a sports class.” He argues that the experience of setbacks on the playing field builds the mindset and self-discipline kids need to face future challenges. He also encourages trimming academic seat time so children can cultivate the imagination and creativity that AI struggles to replace.
The show unpacks the myth that student-athletes “don’t like studying,” pointing out that not liking textbooks doesn’t equal disliking learning. Through the guests’ stories, we explore how athletic careers foster self-awareness and help young people navigate life choices. Curious why these sports-background youths ultimately moved into the coffee business—and how they infuse entrepreneurial work with the spirit of sport? Just tap the next episode—don’t miss it!
