Today we welcome D.C. United's Head Coach, Hernán Losada. Hernán is currently the youngest manager in the MLS. We begin the episode by speaking about Hernàn's beginnings and how he fell in love with the sport of football (or should I say, ‘'soccer''). Hernán then shares with us his story of how he made it through the ranks and dropped out of university to pursue his ambitions of becoming a professional footballer. After impressing scouts in Europe, Hernán packed his bags to leave South America and quickly found himself playing professionally in Belgium. We then speak about some setbacks and challenges he experienced during his career as a player and how goal setting helped him overcome these difficult periods, particularly when going through injury spells. Hernán then takes us through his transition of becoming a coach, his coaching philosophy and what managers he currently looks up to. Having an excellent awareness of the mental side of sport, Hernán gives us his thoughts about the types of psychological qualities he looks for in academy players and footballers when scouting for new players. He also provides us insight on what happens behind the scenes in the dressing room at half time and of the importance to not overload players with information during this crucial period of the game. Hernán also shares with us the realities of working in a high pressured job, being a head coach of a professional football club and how he goes about coping with this. We finish the episode by asking Hernán the questions you had for him. It was a true privilege to speak with such a high profile professional, a truly insightful episode. Thank you for coming on Hernán, it was a pleasure to speak with you.

Today we welcome double Olympian athlete, Marilyn Okoro, to the podcast. Marilyn takes us through where it all started and explains to us how she ended up in track and field. We then talk about Marilyn's experiences competing at her first ever Olympic Games in Beijing in 2008 and what it was like being awarded a bronze medal nearly a decade later for the 4x400m event due to other teams being disqualified. This lead us to talk about issues related to doping in athletics and the adverse repercussions this can have for the honest and clean athletes such as Marilyn. We then go onto explore Marilyn's experience with injury and how she managed to cope during this mentally draining period in which she competed whilst in pain. We then go onto speak about Marilyn's experience seeing a sport psychologist and other various support systems which helped her throughout her career. We finish off by talking about how Marilyn is experiencing this transition period she is currently going through after having recently retired just a few months ago from elite sports. We cannot thank Marilyn enough for being so open and honest when speaking about her experiences and the realities of being a professional athlete as well as how she is currently coping with the transition out of elite sports through her recent retirement. A HUGE INSPIRATION! Thank you Marilyn!
