Interview

What makes you different?

In addition to my passion for athletics, I’m interested in various sports like football, skiing, and basketball, which I’ve loved since I was very young.

Why do you want to compete in college?

I want to get better and better at my sport. College sports in the USA offer a higher competition and better opportunities than is the case in Europe and Germany.
