From Athlete to Entrepreneur: My Journey of Growth and Resilience Part ll Founders Story


I often reflect on my life’s journey and realize how rarely I give myself credit for my accomplishments. Transitioning from a high-level athlete to an entrepreneur has been a path filled with challenges, mistakes, and countless learning opportunities.


As an athlete, I faced numerous battles and setbacks, each teaching me invaluable lessons. These experiences shaped my character and instilled a resilience that has been crucial in my personal and professional development. I made a promise to myself to use these lessons to give back to those in my circle, and that drive has been a guiding force throughout my career.


Coaching was the next significant chapter in my life. It was in this role that I truly understood the depth of my passion for developing others. Coaching, especially in Europe, is a demanding role that requires managing the entire organization, coaching, developing players, planning annual training schedules, marketing, securing sponsorships, and so much more. Each challenge was an opportunity to grow, persevere, and leave a positive impact wherever I went.


My experiences as a coach led to the creation of #ScoutSync, born from the desire to address common pain points faced by many in the sporting world. Transitioning into entrepreneurship has been an entirely new challenge. Plans often change, and things rarely work out as expected or at the speed we desire. Yet, it is this unpredictability that has made the journey so rewarding.


Support from the #Innosuisse coaching program and now #Innoqube has been instrumental in bringing my vision closer to reality. Their guidance has been a beacon, helping me navigate the complexities of entrepreneurship.


It hasn’t been easy, but I have loved and cherished every step of the way. Each experience, each setback, and each victory has contributed to my growth and the realization of my dreams. I am grateful for the journey and excited for what lies ahead.
