Sport has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. My parents have always been very athletic, and they taught me early on what discipline, movement and true passion really mean. My first sport was swimming.
The water gave me a foundation that still shapes me today: endurance, patience and the ability to keep going even when it gets hard.
At some point, cycling entered my life—and suddenly it was more than just training. It was that feeling of freedom, speed, and adventure, the kind of feeling that stays with you long after the ride is over. What began as curiosity quickly turned into enthusiasm, and that enthusiasm grew into a real dream. Later, I discovered triathlon and competed until the age of twelve. But the more I tried, the clearer it became: cycling is where I truly belong.
So I made the decision to fully commit myself to the sport. I raced for many years in the youth categories and became part of the development program of the Bavarian Cycling Federation. There, I didn’t just learn how to race—I learned what it means to grow over time: step by step, day by day, through hard work and consistency.
I had the chance to explore different disciplines, but my focus always remained on road racing and track cycling.
