#167 - Jan Stratmann, Professional Triathlete

Professional triathlete Jan Stratmann joins Seth Hill for an open and thoughtful conversation about chasing world-class goals while staying grounded in what matters most. From his early dreams of becoming a professional soccer player to a life-changing skiing injury that led him to triathlon, Jan shares how he’s navigated the highs and lows of elite sport, the sacrifices it demands, and the role his family and wife play in keeping him centered.

They explore the tension between ambition and relationships, the mental work behind performance, and why success is about more than podiums—it’s about the journey, the people you share it with, and learning when to let go of control. Whether you’re an athlete or just someone striving for balance in life, this conversation will leave you inspired to chase big dreams without losing sight of what really matters.
