"Robbert van de Corput, a world-renowned DJ professionally known as Hardwell, has been performing in front of large crowds across the world for over a decade. But for Hardwell, it's not about the technical precision or the size of the crowd; it's a full mind and body experience. He has spent the last several years developing strategies to effectively manage his energy levels, stress, and recovery, ultimately improving his performance in all areas of life."
"Hardwell admits that early in his career, he thought that hustling and neglecting his well-being was necessary. Now, he recognizes the importance of intentional rest and recovery between shows. "Before each show, I use my pre-show time to meet fans and connect with media, but I also take time for myself afterward, whether that's a massage, relaxing with my tour team, or working through my music.""
