Be proud of your progress
A typical training day in the winter season starts at around 5.00 am. After breakfast, it's off to training on the Götschen, training starts at around 6.00 am with a warm-up, run-in and inspection of the run, then the training runs start, training usually ends at around 8.30 am.
After a second breakfast at the CJD, school starts. Another training session follows after school until dinner, with strength and/or fitness training. After dinner, there is time for schoolwork, meeting friends or simply relaxing to be fit for the next day.
Her motivation to keep improving is partly her great passion for skiing. But her coaches and her team also motivate her to perform well.
Her tip for young athletes is to simply enjoy skiing and be proud of their progress and achievements. This is also her motto: "Be proud of your progress!".
