From a 7th-place finish at the 2024 Olympic Trials, to getting his first pro contract, to navigating the excitement, fears and expectations of becoming a father, to building a career outside of sport, it's been a rollercoaster of a journey.Joey shares more on the miracle pregnancy of his wife Roxie, who is a childhood cancer survivor and was told she had under a 5% chance of conceiving naturally. He talks about the moment he heard the surprising news and how it affected his racing and priorities. After years dialed in on the 'runner lifestyle', he goes on to explain why he took on his first full-time job in social media/marketing for financial stability and the challenges it's brought to training at a high level. Joey also discusses what it was like finally signing his first professional contract with ASICS after placing seventh at the 2024 Olympic Trials, including the mental stress of bonus incentives. He reveals recent struggles in training and finding confidence again, and defines success as showing up for family while pursuing the 2028 Olympics and building his career outside of running.Timestamps: 00:28 Due Date and Big News 06:17 Engagement and Getting Married 07:58 Fear, Priorities, and Running 12:44 New Dad Nerves and Sleep 15:26 From Full-Time Runner to Full-Time Job 26:30 Landing the Asics Contract 33:07 Racing Without Money Pressure 37:03 Post Trials Struggles 44:17 Training Non Negotiables 51:41 From Moving To Boulder: The Gold Hill Story 59:52 Defining Success to 2028_______________________________________________________________________________________About Hammer & Axe TrainingHammer & Ax…","meta_description":"Drew sits down with long-time friend and training partner, Joey Berriatua, to talk about what has been one of the most transformative years of his life so…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":3732,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-hax-show-7709938/episodes/joey-berriatua-on-fatherhood-asics-contract-and-building-a-career-outside-of-running/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-hax-show-7709938/joey-berriatua-on-fatherhood-asics-contract-and-building-a-career-outside-of-running.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
