The 'I' in Team???

We’ve all heard it before: “There’s no I in team.” But what happens when the game ends and the team is gone? In this episode, Coach Lyss and Alyssa flip that old saying on its head and dive into what life looks like when all that’s left is the I. If you’ve ever missed the camaraderie, routine, or belonging that came with sports, this conversation will remind you...you’re not alone, and there’s power in building both the I and the team in your next chapter.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
