    German Episode: Svenja Brunckhorst über die Realität einer Olympischen Athletin

    German Episode: Svenja Brunckhorst über die Realität einer Olympischen Athletin

    In dieser Episode spricht Svenja Brunckhorst über ihre bewegende Reise zur Qualifikation für die Olympischen Spiele im 5vs5- und 3x3-Basketball mit Deutschland. Sie teilt ehrlich die emotionalen Höhen und Tiefen, von totaler Erschöpfung und mentalen Herausforderungen bis hin zu Momenten voller Erleichterung und purem Stolz.
    Svenja und Lena diskutieren auch das Thema "People Pleasing" und die Schwierigkeit, allen gerecht zu werden. Sie beleuchten, wie schwer es sein kann, Grenzen zu setzen und Nein zu sagen, um sich selbst nicht zu verlieren.
    Ein weiterer Schwerpunkt ist Svenjas Entscheidungsprozess, ob sie diesen Sommer in Paris bei den Olympischen Spielen 3x3 oder 5vs5 spielen wird. Schließlich spricht Svenja offen über die Herausforderungen und Sorgen eines bevorstehenden Karrierewechsels, der in zwei Monaten nach dem Ende ihrer sportlichen Laufbahn ansteht.
    Bitte schreibt mir, wenn ihr noch mehr über Svenja erfahren wollt oder welche anderen Podcast Themen euch interessieren würden.
    Danke für deine Unterstützung.
    LOVE TO YOU,
    Lena
