Everything is possible with hard work and dedication. But is it? Only if and when you feel your body in order to input the right amount of pain and get the gain. The subjects that we touched with Stefan were deep and felt to the core, as pain is. A man with a lot of experience as a pro athlete. After all, he is a multiple world medal winner in ski racing. 

So we dived deep into his quest for excellence on his journey towards success. How much of a price with his body he needed to pay? What were the triggers and situations where he began opening his eyes and the mind - body connection? Learning about his body and the nervous system saved him from going down with a bigger career ending injury. So he gradually reinvented himself and achieved results beyond. Now stepping into after career shoes, where he teaches others how to take care of their most precious asset - health. 

Check out this episode where we explain the pressure that a pro athlete must endure and how he copes with it. More than interesting explanations that can be implemented even if you're not an athlete. Slowing down time and balancing the inside pressure with the external one. The answers do lie inside of us. We just need to be ready and open to look for them. To hear those answers that are life changing. Because we are all living in a world full of achievements and finding that right balance between the push and the flow. 

Find out how Stefan is still in that search of the best adaptation. What are his traits and approaches that enable him to thrive while chopping away parts of him that do not serve anymore. The way he confronts limitations, before on the slopes going downhill more than 130km/h and now in life after his career. Now even more realizing that we have limited resources of life's energy and time. Learning how to relax his body and mind, when to be activated and how much.
