Everyone thinks champions are driven by passion and love. They're wrong.

Jure Koscak, professional table tennis player who's competed at the highest levels, reveals what actually fuels elite athletes. Most champions come from broken families, war zones, and dire conditions. They don't train from joy—they train from something darker.

In this episode you'll discover:

• Why most successful athletes feed on hate and obsession

• The dark pattern behind Jordan, Djokovic, and other legends

• Why "toxic fuel" creates champions but destroys people

• The difference between athletes who survive vs. those who burn out

• How breathwork and meditation are the only escape from this cycle

This is for people who: Want to understand the real psychology of success, aren't afraid of uncomfortable truths, and recognize that greatness often comes from darkness. Jure also breaks down why social media is making this worse, how athletes manage internal vs. external pressure, and the nervous system science behind peak performance.
