## Resource

Andrea Petkovic has lived elite sport from the inside – the hype, the pressure, the injuries, the doubts and the moments that look like success from the outside but feel very different on the inside. In this episode, Andrea and Jan talk openly about what happens when passion turns into expectation, why winning rarely changes what we think it will and how athletes build masks to survive on the biggest stages. Andrea breaks down the different phases of her tennis career, the emotional reality of retirement and why loving the game again sometimes comes right before it all ends. They also dive into identity beyond sport, injuries as psychological breaking points, confidence vs belief, and why having other passions can be both a gift and a risk for elite performers. A deep, honest conversation about ambition, emptiness, resilience and what “going mental” really means. https://www.frodenogoingmental.com Learn more about your ad choices.
