Abstract
Staying active is an essential part of my life. From martial arts to basketball, and from CrossFit to weightlifting, sports have shaped my discipline, resilience, and character. If you are curious, feel free to compare my RMs.
1. Early Years
My journey in sports began at the age of 5, when I started playing futsal and practicing Taekwondo. I quickly progressed to the blue-brown belt, which instilled in me a strong sense of discipline and respect from a very young age.
At 8, I switched to basketball, a sport that would become a central part of my life for many years. I played consistently throughout my youth, and by the age of 16, I began supplementing my training with gym workouts to build strength and endurance.
2. Basketball Journey
I played basketball until I was 23. That year, I decided to take a step back from playing and founded my own club. During the early years, I served as both Coach and Club Secretary, dedicating my time to building a team and fostering a love for the sport in others.
After a hiatus from playing, I returned to the court in the 2024/2025 and 2025/2026 seasons, playing once again for my original team while also competing with the Club where I live.
3. CrossFit & Weightlifting
In 2018, I discovered CrossFit, which completely transformed my approach to fitness. The intensity, variety, and community drew me in. I complemented this with weightlifting training between 2021 and 2022, focusing on the Olympic lifts. In 2023, I qualified for the CrossFit Quarterfinals, ranking in the top 3000 in Europe. It was a challenging and rewarding experience that reaffirmed my passion for competition.
Looking ahead, I am shifting my focus back to CrossFit, where I find the greatest challenge and motivation. The upcoming year will be dedicated to training and competing at a higher level.
