Training, testing, metabolism and physiology with Björn Kafka | EP#286

Als Trainer liefert er Einblicke in die Köpfe und Entwicklungen der Sportler und des Sportsich durfte bereits mit ihm zusammenarbeiten und habe mich tatsächlich sehr auf dieses neutrale Gespräch gefreut. Neutral deswegen, weil ich nicht in der Rolle des Sportlers und er in der Rolle des Trainers war, sondern in Podcast-Journalistischen Gesprächsebenen. Themen der Psyche, des Drucks, und der Gefahren, die derzeitige Entwicklungen im Rennsport zeigen, waren Inhalte der gemütlichen Runde.Björn Kafka von Way to Win.
