A winners mindset. A rare breed. May Jakob enjoy a long and injury free career. He's my favourite runner, being a pensioner now and Comrades veteran of 10 races. Cautioning Jakob to prepare mentally for the sunset phase of a brilliant athletic career, one day somewhere in the distant future.

I caution you, Jakob, that you might find an unexpected higher priority will soon envelop you, in fact the true purpose of life-your child. The enormity of this gift and responsibility can only be understood when she looks into your eyes, and you become aware of her reliance on you. This child is not merely a nice addition to your family, she is your purpose. It's your responsibility to learn from the positives and negatives encoded into you from your upbringing, and to correct them where necessary. I wish you both all the best of fortune for the future.

Beautifully said. When he said that he can do some things "on the side" - like having a relationship and starting a family - I feel like he is missing out on the way these things can make him an even better runner if he was willing to also put these in the center of his life. He is only 23 years old. This perspective may come. That said - I can hardly wait until Paris!

I think he will run 1500-5000m up until 2028, trying to get 1500-Mille WR and a 1500m world title, then will progressively shift towards 5000-10000, and finally marathon. I genuinely can see him be Olympic / World champion on everything from 1500 to marathon. Sky is the limit for this guy.
