Meet Nelson
I was born in the beautiful small city of Graz, Austria where Arnold Schwarzenegger originates from. My mother is from this city and my dad is from Zimbabwe, Africa. Before I even learned how to walk, I could kick a squash ball, the size of a lime, in a straight line. My ball talents were discovered.
Growing up my main sport was soccer but I always liked to learn and try new things whenever I had the opportunity. I played roundnet once in June 2018 and completely lost track of it until March 2019, but then I fell in love with it very quickly. You couldn't stop me from playing 7 days a week. After my first tournament, I was amazed at the community and I really enjoyed traveling around the world.
Signature roundnet move?
My defense for drop shot serves. I do not like to be dropped and I almost never get dropped.
What's one thing everyone should experience in your city?
A night hike up a small hill called Plabutsch. You get an amazing view over the city. It's super romantic and thrilling at night.
Fav song on repeat?
Sunshine from OneRepublic.
