29- VolleyTalk w Audrius Knasas 🇱🇹

“Live your life today as if you would want to live it a 1000 times over!”

Today's guest is Audrius Knasas- beach volleyball player from Lithuania who is currently playing professional indoor volleyball in Austria! A literal “walking quote book”, Audrius dives deep into his personal headspace and shares many experiences that he has had in life through a philosophical lens. In this episode, Audrius talks about:-

How he first started beach volleyball in Lithuania but is currently playing pro indoor volleyball in Austria

What being “more than an athlete” means to him

How he began the process of “searching” and finding ways to cope mentally with the strenuous schedule

Why “alone time” is so necessary for him

How playing in Austria has been like for him (this one is really funny!)

What being an Olympian means to him

How he would still like to be in the sports scene in different ways even after he is retired

Why being a “self-learner” is his greatest strength

How anxiousness actually affects him in many ways, but how he has learned to have a “friendly relationship” with himself

How volleyball has taught him self-love on and off the court

And as usual, much much more!

Speaking with Aurdrius has opened my eyes and mind to a lot of things that I never gave much thought about before. I really hope that you enjoy it and that you’ve learned as much from him as I did!
