My story
Built through experience.
Sport has been part of my life since childhood. At 12, I was already training five times a week in competitive table tennis.
But my path was anything but linear. There were successes, setbacks and periods when I lacked direction. For many years, sport existed alongside a very different lifestyle. I partied hard, smoked, drank and didn’t always make the best choices.
Sport was nevertheless the constant that never completely disappeared. Eventually, it became the catalyst for a much bigger transformation.
Around 2010, I increasingly turned towards ultra-running and long-distance triathlon. I completed my first Ironman in Zurich in 2011 and my first major mountain ultra, the 127 km Transgrancanaria, in 2014.
What started as sport gradually became a way of approaching life: set ambitious goals, prepare, commit, accept setbacks and keep moving forward.
Today, endurance sport is an important part of who I am. But it is only one part of the story.
