General Interest

General
MENTAL HEALTH
He says he struggled with his mental health after moving to the United States of America to study at the University of Maryland in College Park, MD, in 2017. A broken foot, among other factors, contributed to him suffering from depression. "I was really far down, and was taking medication and hospitalised in a psychiatric ward. 2018 was really uphill, but I got through it with the help of friends, family and my Danish coach. Since 2018, I have shot up like a rocket. I know that it is darkest just before dawn, and the downturns have been a kind of petrol on the huge fire that is burning inside me. I have come out strengthened on the other side every time." (tvmidtvest.dk, 09 May 2021)

COACHING
In 2017 he co-founded RunFasterDK, which offers physical training focusing on speed and explosiveness. He serves as a sprinting and moving coach with the company. (LinkedIn profile, 01 Jun 2021; runfasterdk.com, 01 Jan 2020)
