Athlete talk

Words to live by / Personal mantra    

Life is all about the fun factor. Find a job that does not feel like “work”. Do something you love every day and there is only one way to find things out: simply by doing.

What "No Shortcuts" means to you    

Before you can get really good at something you need to start from the bottom. Taking shortcuts will literally cut your temporary successes sooner than later. Nothing good ever comes easy, so work your butt off. When you stand on top of that mountain or you just had the best run of your life, you’ll be glad you didn’t take a shortcut and all those hard moments to get that result will be forgotten.

Three things you always pack 

My powerbank given that I am pro at not charging things before I leave, a little bit of cash in case and a GPS emergency call device.

How I relax      

I ski and I bike! Typical relaxed activities as hanging around on the beach get me more stressed than anything else. It’s hard to sit still for activity is synonym to relaxation for me.

Favorite place to ride (or run or ski depending of your sport)

In winter I would have to say Glacier 3000 and Verbier.

In summer for mountain biking, St Cergue, les Gets and Verbier.
