74 Wants More!

In this episode I had the honor to interview a rising professional coach, who has all the tools to become one of the really good ones in his business. This is him in a nutshell: Great personality, great work ethic, passion, student of the game, constantly trying to learn and to improve himself, compassionate, smart, eloquent... Pierre is a prototype of a "modern Coach", and what that really means is also one to the topics in the conversation. He is also telling a very inspiring story of how he had to overcome big disappointments and learn that for quite some time he has been his own worst enemy. This young man managed to overcome his struggles and converted his passion for the game into becoming a student of the game and a very promising factor in the business of professional coaching.  We are talking about the importance of developing the right mindset to handle mental pressure as a young athlete, about life skills, and how to get credibility and respect. Pierre is currently coaching in one of the most

Coaching is coaching, right? It is always dealing with people in a certain way, with the goal to bring the best out of them, to perform, to succeed. Sounds pretty simple, but is it also easy?

This is part 2 of a very memorable conversation with one of the most influential coaches i had in my entire career as an athlete.

In Part 1 of this Episode I reconnect with one of the most influential coaches during my 22 year professional career. Why? Because now I understand the impact his believe in my abilities as a young athlete of 18 years of age had on my development and my international career. He did with me, what is perhaps the most important thing a coach has to do with his athletes in order to be successful and to have a real impact. He gave me the feeling that he trusted me, that he believed in me and that alone is worth so much more to any human being, but especially a young person, than a coach who is  just teaching  the X's and O's. This trust helped me perform at my best and to jumpstart a special  career and an incredibly exiting  journey.  Being a Coach myself now, I know first hand how crucial it is to stand up for your believes, to have integrity, and to be authentic, amongst other elements, if you want to have an impact. Trust- Believe - Faith - are words with deep meaning and the power to

Forget about all the clichés of boring, greedy, emotionless bankers, that you might have noticed in movies and various stories. This guy here seems to be the total opposite of that stereotype, which makes any conversation with him unique and highly interesting. Meet Manish Gvalani, who was born and raised in India until he had to witness his families life work vanish before their eyes, leaving them with almost nothing. Going through the deepest valleys of despair, he decided to take fate into his own hands, moved his family to Dubai and developed the mindset that sets him apart from so many others. He made a conscious decision to change his life, change his health and use this transformative energy to inspire every person he gets in contact with. Today he is biohacking his way to limitless energy and is a true fountain of knowledge and positivity. If only all the coaches and athletes in the world would be as hungry learning about optimisation and self development like my man from Dubai. Listen up now, the Coa

Great players become great coaches! Well, that might be the case sometimes, but is not  neccessarily true. Vice versa, great coaches don't have to former great players! This episodes guest is living proof of that. Anders Olsson has an very interesting story to tell. A story about a kid, who has to give up his dream just to form another version of it and to live a life of competition and passion. His credo spells "BETTER EVERY DAY" and he never stops learning, from every source he can get hands on, and yes, even from Germans, Suisse folks, not even mentioning the odd Austrian. Anders is doing it Swedish style.

Growing up and playing hockey in Canada, pushing your dream of becoming the best in what you are most passionate about, teaches you many lessons. You are reaching quite a few crossroads and challenges where you have to make tough decisions and overcome failure and defeat. How you are dealing with those potentially life-changing moments, what conclusions you are drawing in order to move forward, will define you as a person, a coach and as a professional in life. What this all has to do with becoming one of the most passionate young coaches in the business, is the story Kirk Furey, a Canadian coach and former professional ice-hockey player, with a couple of Championships under his belt, is sharing in this episode of "74wantsMore".

Back in the time when the political landscape in Europe has been much different than today, when the iron curtain of dividing the west and the east was still very much a reality, boys and girls of both sides were dreaming similar dreams and were working on reaching similar goals. Still, there have been significantly different challenges to be overcome, depending on which side you where born into! Radek Hamr was one of those boys dreaming big and his story of becoming an internationally successful athlete, coach and players-agent is being told in this episode of "74wantsMore".

This is the first episode of season 1 of this podcast. You will learn about who i am and were i come from, about the WHY and WHY now and what it all has to do with the 74. It's kind of a mission statement and the pathetic intro of a Rookie broadcaster, who has seen a lot and realised that he doesn't know much after all. This is all about dreams come true and real passion, passing on the knowledge and being hungry to learn and get better every day, while looking for purpose and fighting the fears that life changing events force you to deal with, even professionals in sports as in life.
