Episode notes
This week, we get real with professional triathlete Justin Metzler, no filters, no fluff.
Justin opens up about the pressure that comes with competing at the highest level and what life as a pro triathlete is really like behind the social media highlight reels. We talk about the financial struggles that come with chasing the dream, including the time he sold finisher medals and race gear on eBay just to make ends meet.
We also dive into coaching, the art of communication, and how a coach’s approach has to evolve depending on the athlete. From guiding first-timers to fine-tuning top-level age groupers, Justin shares what it really takes to bring out the best in each individual.
If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to live, train, and hustle as a professional triathlete, this one’s for you.
