I found this picture from 6 years ago, which made me think of the past few years. Back then my whole world used to be different. A World Cup season lay behind me, I trained for the upcoming World Championship. Later that summer I became World Champion, an event that changed my life in many very positive and also very weird ways.
.
This title smoothed my way out of competitive climbing knowing that I fulfilled all my climbing dreams. It opened countless doors and it allowed myself a financial independence which gave me a lot of freedom over the last couple of years. It also strangely makes people look differently at me on various occasions. Sometimes I feel idolised, which is something I’ve always had a hard time identifying with. But from which at the same time I massively benefitted, in a society that values personalities who achieved success in sports.
.
Stumbling my way out of competitive sports over the last years opened my eyes to the world around me and often times massively overwhelmed me and still does. Having grown up in competitive sports, I often feel like I grew up on a different planet. A planet where my youth and young adulthood evolved around optimising my performance, where the rewards were intense feelings connected to medals, World Cup finals, congratulations from friends, family and people I had never met before. A planet where my everyday thoughts were circulating around my own performance, my wellbeing, fitness level, weight, diets, training plans, strengths & weaknesses. A planet where vulnerability was something I tried to avoid and felt strong by doing so. A planet from which I looked onto the rest of the world as an interested observer. Looking back onto this time now, feels strange and unfamiliar.
.
Now, 5 years after stepping back from competitive sports, I feel like day by day I’m feeling more comfortable exploring and getting more settled in this other world. A world where I’m trying to find myself a place in, where I’m trying to make sense of complex, inconsistent and overwhelming societal structures and concepts, integrating my past, making myself vulnerable at times and deepening relationships to my beloved ones.

It was a strange time sitting at home for several weeks during the lockdown, looking for new activities that can be done at home, only seeing friends and family on the phone and not being able to climb. When lockdown was loosened and it was allowed to climb outside again, I drove to Ruhrtal (1 hr from Cologne) for an exciting mini-adventure and had a wonderful day in the nature! Sometimes great adventures are just around the corner wherever we live 🙂 🌳☀️

Wie die meisten von euch habe ich mich inzwischen einigermaßen in der aktuellen Situation eingegroovt. Ich mache (fast) jeden Tag entweder Klimmzüge, Liegestütze, Übungen am Beastmaker, Yoga oder dehne und gehe viel Fahrradfahren. Unterstützt werde ich dabei neuerdings durch @mypro_plus, ein neuer Proteindrink ohne hinzugefügten Zucker und ohne Konservierungsstoffe (25g Protein), der in den meisten deutschen Supermärkten erhältlich ist 🙂
In den nächsten Wochen habe ich eine tolle Aktion für euch mit MyPRO+ geplant, bleibt gespannt!

Immer wieder merke ich, dass es mir körperlich und mental gut tut regelmäßig Yoga zu machen. Obwohl ich das seit Jahren weiß, kriege ich es trotzdem nicht hin es regelmäßig in die Tat umzusetzen 🤦🏻♀️. Und da im Team alles einfacher ist haben @mypro_plus und ich eine kleine Challenge; vielleicht geht es euch ja genauso und ihr habt Lust euch diese Woche der Challenge anzuschließen und jeden Morgen Yoga zu machen… Mein Ziel ist es jeden Morgen 5 Sonnengrüße mit unterschiedlichen Elementen zu verbinden. Für die Motivierten unter euch gibt es sogar einen 500€ Body Attack-Gutschein und eine Theragun (Massagepistole) zu gewinnen. Zusätzlich verlose ich unter meinen Followern noch einen MyPRO+ Goodiebag. Dafür müsst ihr mir und @mypro_plus folgen, eine Story während meiner Challenge mit #verdienesdir posten, in der ihr mich und @mypro_plus verlinkt.
Viel Spaß:) #anzeige’#MyProPlus #verdienesdir

Maske auf! Aber warum?
Auf meinem YouTube-Account findet ihr ein neues Video dazu.
Es hat mir sehr viel Freude bereitet es zu produzieren, hoffe es gefällt nicht nur mir 😉 Der Link ist in meiner Bio.
