I grew up in Graz, a rather small city, but still the second biggest in Austria. Ever since I can remember, I was into ball sports. It took me until I was 19 to find volleyball, which was the first sport I wanted to get competitive in. It was unrivaled until I discovered roundnet in 2017 and immediately fell in love, without even trying it.

After I was introduced to the competitive scene at the Euros 2018, I knew I had to cut down other parts of my life. This fast and mentally intense sport paired with the crazy community and the greatest human beings in it, I knew this was going to take up a lot of free time in the future!

Before the No Hit Zone, it was my lefty tweener. However, since we love to embrace defense, I'd go with the 100kg-man-bodyblock where I can take up a lot of space at the net.

Right in the center of Graz is this big hill with a clock tower on top. It's the city's landmark and looks like a shrunken version of the Big Ben. I'd take every visitor on this little trip where you can have a great view over the whole city and enjoy a small hike.
