“Live your life today as if you would want to live it a 1000 times over!”

Today's guest is Audrius Knasas- beach volleyball player from Lithuania who is currently playing professional indoor volleyball in Austria! A literal “walking quote book”, Audrius dives deep into his personal headspace and shares many experiences that he has had in life through a philosophical lens. In this episode, Audrius talks about:-

- How he first started beach volleyball in Lithuania but is currently playing pro indoor volleyball in Austria

- What being “more than an athlete” means to him

- How he began the process of “searching” and finding ways to cope mentally with the strenuous schedule

- Why “alone time” is so necessary for him

- How playing in Austria has been like for him (this one is really funny!)

- What being an Olympian means to him

- How he would still like to be in the sports scene in different ways even after he is retired

- Why being a “self-learner” is his greatest strength

- How anxiousness actually affects him in many ways, but how he has learned to have a “friendly relationship” with himself

- How volleyball has taught him self-love on and off the court

And as usual, much much more!

Speaking with Aurdrius has opened my eyes and mind to a lot of things that I never gave much thought about before. I really hope that you enjoy it and that you’ve learned as much from him as I did!
