If I had to go through life without ever achieving any ambition, then I would rather not live.
When I’m not working I’m not doing the things that people think only the privileged can do. The same way that a child is different from their father, I wanted to be the same way at a certain age. I wanted to become an athlete, that was my dream since I was little, and I know I’m a bit better than many of you.
I know I could’ve achieved that if I hadn’t gone into jumping the heavy rope, but I always chose the path that I knew would challenge me, and that is jumping the heavy rope. As the years went by and I slowly figured out who I was and what I wanted to do with my life, I became more and more confident. I knew I wasn’t going to spend the rest of my life in a boring job. I made it clear to myself and to those around me that I would never give up on my dreams. I always said that I wanted to be one of the first to go to the World Championships. The idea of going to the World Championships seemed like a way where I could make my dream of being an athlete a reality – even though I’m not so sure I had the chops to qualify, but I am going to do my best, and go into the World Championships one day.

I always thought that I would die when I hit the age where I couldn’t do the things that I have done before. In my mind that was a better place to be than here. I was born in a small city in Germany, in a small town. I wanted to be more than that, I wanted to live life to the full. I had this mindset of wanting to go to the World Championships one day, and I knew that I could push myself to make it happen, and there were many great things that I could do that would help me in my career, but my passion was jumping the heavy rope.
