In my 20s and 30s, I thought burning out meant I was doing something right.

I was wrong.

I chased productivity, late nights, and hustle culture. Until one day, my mind was sharp, but my body gave up.

That’s when I found sports again.

For me, it was tennis. But it could be anything — running, squash, swimming, even weekend football.

Here’s what playing sports taught me as a founder:

✅ Clarity: One hour on the court clears my head more than 10 hours of overthinking a problem.

✅ Discipline: You can’t cheat consistency. The same rule applies in business.

✅ Humility: You win some, you lose some — but you always show up.

✅ Real connection: Some of my best investor and team conversations happened after a game, not in a boardroom.

We talk a lot about performance in business. But without physical well-being, your business wins start to feel empty.

You don’t need to train for a marathon. You just need to move. Regularly.

Your body is your real first investor.

Start treating it like one.
