About Me
I am starting a new chapter
After six years of competing as a professional athlete, I am turning the page to start my next chapter.
This picture symbolically represents how I look back on my career: proud, grateful and happy.
Proud of the goals I have accomplished. Becoming the Functional Fitness European & World Champion and qualifying for the CrossFit Semifinals three consecutive years are achievements I will cherish forever.
Grateful for the invaluable support from my family, friends, sponsors and every one of you who has followed and encouraged me on social media.
Happy about the countless memories - from intense training sessions to the emotional rollercoasters of competitions, and navigating personal challenges & injuries. Sharing these highs and lows with people I love has been a privilege, and those memories will stay with me forever.
But now, it is time to officially turn the page and begin my new chapter with TRUE Training - I am committed to becoming the best coach I can be, and to share my knowledge and experience to help athletes of all levels reach their true potential.
Thank you for being part of my journey so far. Let's continue this next chapter together!
