Today’s topic: Olympic Challenges.
Even Olympians are human beings. In this second Dutch episode, 3x3 basketball player Thibaut Vervoort openly talks about the big price he had to pay for living as professional athlete. We also talk with Belgian Cheetah Paulien Couckuyt, who recently ran the European limit after a severe injury. She shares her insights on staying motivated during hard times. We also have the pleasure of welcoming top coach Fernando Oliva, who works closely with Noor Vidts and Kim Meylemans. Last but not least, we will discuss whether stress is a good or a bad thing.
