The indescribable feeling in the air that you get from a long jump. The playing of the national anthem for my achievements. The fun and joy of long “flights”. Traveling all over the world. All of this motivates me to keep practicing my sport.
But one of the most important factors for me as an athlete is my family, my friends and my closest environment, all of whom are often there at the competitions and support me in every area of my life.
I like to spend my free time in nature. Depending on the season, I can often be found hiking, mountain biking or skiing in the Grossarl Valley. I am also still an enthusiastic soccer player and soccer fan.
Even though it’s really best at home, I like traveling the world, discovering foreign places and landscapes and getting to know new cities and people.
