About Being Athlete Being Human Podcast

Introducing BEING HUMAN with Lena Sherbert! I'm Lena Sherbert, a former professional basketball player and member of the German National Team, psychologist, and sales leader at Grafana. Throughout my career as a professional athlete, I witnessed—and experienced firsthand—the mental and physical health challenges that often accompany high performance. From performance anxiety, depression, disordered eating, exercise addiction, burnout, and self-doubt, I saw how common these struggles are among elite performers, yet how rarely they are openly discussed. That's why I created this safe space. On BEING HUMAN, we'll have honest conversations about the topics that often feel taboo in high-performance environments. Together, we'll explore what it truly means to be human behind the achievements, titles, and expectations—and how we can cultivate greater well-being, resilience, and authenticity along the way. Welcome to the conversation.
