The quick ones

Where in the world are you right now?
I am at home in Måløv. I work from home and out when I give talks. I miss travelling during the winter months.

Hometown?
I grew up on Lolland, but have lived in the Copenhagen area since 2007.

Your primary discipline?
Speaker, high performance coach, coach, online coach, entrepreneur.

When you're not on adventures?
My training has become my hobby, whereas it used to be my primary occupation.

Let's connect

What drives you? Tell us about your journey, and what ignited your passion for your sport?
I love to improve myself; even though I have stopped my active career, I look for ways to be more effective in the water when I row. Or better at running when I run. It's not so much about fitness, but the execution for me now.

Your most unforgettable moment?
Professionally, when I became double world champion in 2015. Personally, when I became a father for the first time.

What is the next big adventure? What dream are you chasing?
I want to be Denmark's champion coach and speaker, inspire and help a lot of people reach their dreams and goals. And I have become an ambassador for 'Cykelnerven' [the Danish cycling team for sclerosis] and will be cycling on the Tour de France route for 4 days this summer.

Why are you and LOOW the perfect match?
I am active and love to be in motion. For me, it has to work on both hot and cold days, and it must be nice-looking but functional.

Your indispensable piece of LOOW gear – and why?
Definitely my 135 t-shirts. They are thin and light, and they work both on hot summer days and on an autumn day.

A personal mantra or philosophy you live by?
Do your absolute best, everything else is a waste of your time and resources.

Anything else we should know?
I have two dogs, two children and have renovated two houses :) I have been to all 5 inhabited continents. I love everything about Italy.
