| Other information | SPORTS PSYCHOLOGIST He has worked with a sports psychologist to help him handle the pressure that comes with competing in speed skating. "I felt like a machine [after he started competing on the World Cup circuit]. It was all about the sport and the constant self-optimisation brought me a lot of pressure and a lot of thoughts. It's exhausting, but I'm living my dream." (sport.orf.at, 19 Feb 2022; diepresse.com, 08 Nov 2021) |
