My Training Journey

Throughout my years of training, I have tried many different things to find out what I truly enjoy and what drives me forward to continue developing. As a child, I engaged in various types of ball sports, in this case, soccer and handball. Both sports required high physical and mental effort, which laid the foundation for being selected for international matches with the Swedish youth national team.

After a few more years of continued investment in soccer, I felt it was time for me to switch tracks, to try something else that could reignite the spark within me that I knew had faded. That's where strength training came in. Initially, I was lost, both in terms of exercise selection and diet, wondering where to even start? I watched a lot of YouTube to understand basic biomechanical principles and dietary advice. It was a start that gave me the drive to test different exercises during each session and different types of food to find out what worked for me.

After two years of learning via the internet, I felt it was time to elevate my training to a level I knew I could achieve with the right guidance. I decided to hire a personal trainer who could see from an outsider's perspective what I needed to achieve my goals. With a new workout regimen and a structured diet plan, I managed to gain eight kilograms in three months. I understood the importance of the interplay between enjoyable training, varied and delicious food, and proper recovery. Now, I wanted to learn everything, and this desire has led me to where I am today. Currently, I am studying health from all aspects at the Swedish School of Sport and Health Sciences in Stockholm, and this is the beginning of the interesting, varied, and challenging training journey ahead of me.
