Description

He 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.
