## Resource

Dan Lorang has spent two decades at the highest level of sport - not as the one on the start line, but as the person holding the plan, the responsibility and often the pressure when everything is on the line. In this episode, Dan and Jan talk openly about what elite coaching actually demands: trust, honesty, emotional control and the weight of carrying someone else’s career. They dive into the coach–athlete relationship, why data only works when trust exists, and how a single training decision can impact confidence for weeks. Dan reflects on mistakes that shaped him, moments of deep self-doubt and why great coaches have to feel the pressure, but not let it consume them. They also explore ambition, repetition, why success needs to be earned again and again and how coaches stay grounded while constantly being evaluated through other people’s results. A rare look into the mental world of elite coaching — the calm on the outside, the responsibility underneath, and what “going mental” really means when you’re not the one racing. https://www.frodenogoingmental.com Learn more about your ad choices.
