Topics
Books
Which books should you read? I am a person who always wants to learn and become more productive. Thus, I love non-fiction boos, books about self development, and about inspiring stories or personalities. However, I feel like trying to learn and become better all day can also stress you out or make you too serious of a person. Reading a novel before sleeping, feels like a waste of time since you are literally reading just a random story, but it might actually improve your relaxation, your imagination and your emotional intelligence.
Tenets (Glaubenssätze)
Tenets are totally crazy. We can literally steer our lives in a desired direction just by reading the right believes over and over again. My tipp: envision what kind of person you want to be in the future, write down what believes such a person has, and read them aloud every morning as a routine. Use this powerful tool!
Hyrox Maastricht
In February 2025, I gave my Hyrox Men's Pro debut in Maastricht. This event might have been the craziest sports competition of my athletic career so far. Hyrox is literally the definition of hybrid training: A combination of running and strength exercises. I went into the competition without any expectation and finished in 1:15:19.
ISTernship
In summer 2024, I visited the Institute for Science and Technology in Austria for an Internship. The experience that I could gain there was priceless. I am very thankful.
