A podcast with me, Jan Frodeno, where I sit down with people who know what it feels like to hit the edge and sometimes go way past it. Physically, mentally, emotionally. In every episode, we dig into questions that don’t leave you alone: What actually drives us? What holds us back? And how do we grow beyond the person we thought we were? We talk about the search for meaning, identity and the tiny details that turn good into great. But also about the things most of us keep quiet: the setbacks, the doubt, the loneliness, the dark stretches that never make it into the highlight reel. This podcast is for anyone who wants honest conversations, real resilience, and stories that go deeper than results. If you’re curious about what happens in that space between breaking down and breaking through - enjoy the show.","last_synced_at":"2026-06-08T08:19:32.767713+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/frodeno-going-mental-7652943"},"episode":{"title":"Why Winning the World Cup Wasn’t Enough - André Schürrle","slug":"why-winning-the-world-cup-wasn-t-enough-andr-sch-rrle","published_at":"2026-01-19T02:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/frodeno-going-mental-7652943/why-winning-the-world-cup-wasn-t-enough-andr-sch-rrle","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/frodeno-going-mental-7652943","url":"https://traffic.megaphone.fm/PDS4018995533.mp3?updated=1769446946","audio_url":"https://traffic.megaphone.fm/PDS4018995533.mp3?updated=1769446946","summary":"Andre Schürrle knows what it means to operate at the edge. World Cup finals, 80,000 people in the stands, a body and mind shaped for constant performance. But the real breaking points didn’t come in the stadiums. In this episode of Going Mental, Jan Frodeno sits down with André to talk about mental and physical limits: where they are, how they shift and why he keeps chasing them long after football. From elite competition to ultraruns, MMA sparring, cold exposure and nights where quitting feels inevitable, André explains why he now deliberately puts himself in situations where control disappears and honesty begins. They explore what happens when your body shuts down, when motivation collapses and when there’s no crowd, no contract, no reward. It’s a conversation about obsession, pain, solitude and the fine line between pushing yourself and breaking yourself. About why suffering can strip everything away except truth and why finding your limit is often the only way to understand yourself. This episode goes deep into discomfort, endurance and the psychology of going all the way. https://www.instagram.com/janfrodeno/ Learn more about your ad choices.
