009 | Why More Training Stops Working | Inside Rafael Domingos

Professional triathlete. Olympic-level pressure. Identity
crisis.

In this episode, former Portuguese pro triathlete Rafael Domingos
opens up about the hidden side of elite performance.


We talk about:


why some athletes dominate training but fail on race day

the dangerous mindset of “more is better”

how recovery actually determines performance

the identity crisis many athletes face after setbacks or
injuries

which of the 3 athlete types affect long-term success



Rafael shares the emotional reality behind professional sport,
leaving home at 15, injuries, surgery, pressure from federation
systems — and why he enjoys training more today than during his
professional career.


This conversation goes far beyond triathlon.
It’s about performance, pressure, regulation and learning how to
truly trust the process.
