My family always comes first. After moving to Munich and dealing with packed match schedules, time with my family has become even more precious. I cherish free days and breaks from games to spend quality time with them – whether it’s a fun outing or simply being together.

In addition to football, I’m currently studying Media Management at IU University. The online program perfectly complements my professional athlete lifestyle, offering a great balance and allowing me to explore topics outside of football. I also find it important to build a second career path, and I enjoy investing time in my studies.

Our family dog Jimmy is a true blessing. Spending time with him, whether on walks or playing together, brings me peace and balance. “A dog doesn’t know how to write love, but they show it every day” – this quote resonates deeply with me.

There’s nothing more relaxing than diving into a good book after a long day. I love reading novels and crime stories to unwind and end the day on a calm note. Reading is my personal escape from everyday life.

As a child, I played a lot of tennis alongside football. While it’s challenging to regularly play other sports as a professional athlete, I still enjoy picking up the racket in my free time and hitting the tennis or padel court. This passion has stayed with me since childhood.

A teammate introduced me to crocheting a few years ago, and it’s become a beloved hobby ever since. I regularly crochet plush toys, mascots, and hats, and I love spreading joy with my handmade creations. This passion also gave rise to mascots like Waru and Ottienne, which hold a special place in my heart.
