THE NEXT STEP — an author interview podcast dedicated to the life of a professional athlete off the court.
The project’s focus is Andrei Yachmenkov—a professional squash player, Russia’s fifth seed, Candidate Master of Sport, coach, and entrepreneur who balances his professional career with his Master’s degree studies at ITMO.
I chose Andrey as my subject because his experience spans several fields, allowing me to explore how an individual builds a career, balances effort across different pursuits, and adapts to evolving professional goals.
