In recent years, I’ve experienced career highs I could only dream of as an athlete. But even during those golden moments, injuries and mental challenges were never far away.
The lead-up to the Paralympic Games in Paris became my toughest test yet. Physically and mentally, I had to face the reality: something had to change. And here I am now, ten months later. How do you rebuild as an elite athlete from zero back to one hundred percent? That process is still ongoing.

TEAMNL followed me closely. In part 1 of the documentary, I share my journey, doubts, and behind-the-scenes struggles with honesty and vulnerability. No filters, no polish, just the real story. Watch part 1 of the documentary now.
