The Transition from Athlete to Coach: Excuses, Injuries & Athlete Mentality

In this conversation, we dive into the transition from athlete to coach — the challenges, lessons, and mindset shifts that come with guiding the next generation. 🏅➡️🎓

We explore the realities of coaching mentality, from managing athletes who make excuses to understanding what truly motivates them. Injury management plays a huge role too, and we reflect on the insights gained through personal injuries and how they shape better coaching practices.

The conversation also highlights the unique training demands of decathletes, balancing performance and health while keeping athletes motivated and resilient.
