From Cancer to Coaching: Lessons in Longevity & Tennis

Описание: What do aging athletes, elite tennis stars, and cancer recovery all have in common? In this episode, we uncover the surprising lessons about longevity, resilience, and balance that every athlete — and every human — needs to know.

Episode Summary:
In this powerful conversation, Sifu Slim sits down with Adam Blicher, a Danish tennis coach, podcaster, and cancer survivor, to explore the real keys to sustainable performance. Together, they dive into Roger Federer’s balance, Jimmy Connors’ relentless drive, and the fine line between pressure that builds resilience and stress that leads to breakdown.

Adam shares his journey from being a young tennis enthusiast to facing lymphoma cancer, and how that experience reshaped his approach to coaching, training, and recovery. With over 1,800 athlete interviews, Sifu Slim brings insights into what aging athletes — from industrial workers to pro champions — can teach us about living strong, staying curious, and respecting regeneration.

Whether you’re a tennis fan, a coach, or someone seeking mind-body mastery for the long haul, this episode will challenge your beliefs about performance, health, and what it means to truly age like an athlete.
