ULTRA-ENDURANCE:
LIFE, LEADERSHIP AND DECISION-MAKING

Dominik Erne with Swiss National Team Shirt on the running track

Perspective

Ultra-endurance is not about motivation or slogans. It is about body, mind and spirit, preparation, commitment, restraint and judgment under pressure.

​

In long races and in life, performance is rarely lost in dramatic moments. It erodes quietly through small compromises and poor decisions.

 

This perspective shapes how I live, work and engage with others.
