How Building a Sports Community in Berlin after I QUIT Soccer CHANGED everything

Описание: Support Noah and the new Gym in Moabit 👉👉 https://www.startnext.com/the-runstro...

Noah came to Berlin to follow his dream of becoming a professional football player.
But when that dream ended, he found something even more meaningful — a life built on movement, community, and love.

In this episode of the Berlin & Elsewhere Podcast, Coach Noah, an American endurance coach based in Berlin, shares how quitting football helped him find purpose, build a community, and create a real feeling of home in Germany.

We talk about:
How to find belonging in a new country
The power of sport and movement to connect people
Building healthy habits and balance as a parent
The “Foundation First” mindset for fitness and life

Whether you live in Berlin or are starting over somewhere new, this conversation will inspire you to slow down, connect, and focus on what really matters.
