Jan van Berkel, a successful triathlete, announced his retirement after winning Ironman Switzerland 2023 and embarks on a job search in the film. His wife, Sarah van Berkel, a successful figure skater, is familiar with this. Alongside her involvement with Art On Ice, she completed a journalism degree. Beni Huggel turns necessity into virtue and has founded an organization that connects athletes with potential employers. This is how Laurien van der Graff, a former cross-country skier, found a career after sports. The footballer Timm Klose is still in the midst of the process and currently trains with the U21 team, where he serves as a link between young players and coaches and reflects on his future.
