Fears of a swimmer (English version) - Interview with Heidi Karjalainen, former swimming pro and now lawyer

ATTENTION please: I am sorry, this episode needs good acoustic
conditions while listening. Unfortunately there was an audio
problem while recording, but the episode with Heidi is still nice
and worth it to listen with care - because she is a wonderful
person.





Hello everyone, I announce my first international podcast
episode. Thanks to my wonderful international interview guest
this episode will be in English. I am very happy to introduce you
to Heidi Karjalainen. She was in the Finish national swimming
team, taking over 20 podium placements at the Finnish
nationals. Internationally she was twice placed as 5th at
FINA Swimming World Cup (both in Singapore 2010, 50m and 100m
butterfly). 


 


I had the chance to get to know Heidi last October at the ASICS
FrontRunner Trainingscamp in Mallorca. We had a great swimming
session – only the two of us in the ocean. And a few days later
we had a great talk about Heidis swimming career. I had the
pleasure to coach her by accident during a photoshoot with the
two of us. We talked about performance pressure and fears as
athlete on a high level. 


 


Heidi finished her swimming career in 2013. Now she is lawyer at
an outdoors performance brand Haglöfs in Sweden, captain of the
Finnish ASICS FrontRunner team and an age group triathlete. Since
we met in Mallorca we are still in contact – videos calls helped
us through times of corona to keep up our inspiring talks.


 


And the last weeks I had the idea to take you, my dear podcast
listeners, with me in those talks with inspiring people.
