For me, pursuing higher education isn’t just about preparing for life after sport, it also provides me with a mental switch to focus on something different away from sport. That gives me good balance and adds to my motivation to train.

I always looked up to my older brother as a kid because he studied a Bachelor degree while also managing his sporting career as an elite mogul skier. I have always tried to show younger athletes that your education is important and that there is more to life beyond sport.
