How would your loved ones describe you as a person?
Relationship-oriented, fearless, friendly and with good drive.
Tell us about a passion you have.
I love padel! I've played tennis since an early age, but when padel came to Sweden I was sold. Prefer to play doubles as I like the team feeling. Many of my friends make fun of me for playing a lot now that it's become popular, but that's on me. I know what they miss!
What does a perfect Sunday look like?
It's a day with nothing planned. A big breakfast with my family and a long walk with our dog in the woods. Then some kind of training session and the icing on the cake to see Brynäs IF play against the antagonists Leksand or Djurgården where Brynäs of course takes home three points.
When was the last time you tried something new?
It definitely doesn't happen as often as before, unfortunately. It must be when I tested the high altitude course with Zipline in Järvsö, scary high but life-affirming.
What keeps you motivated?
My curiosity and the will to always do my best, in almost every situation.
What is the most beautiful place you know?
Whitsunday Islands, Australia.
What would you like to have more time for?
Exercise and relaxation is something I struggle to make time for. However, the most important thing for me is that I have time for my family and friends, and I manage that well.
