Additional information
General
STAYING POSITIVE
She missed a total of about two years of competition after sustaining serious injuries between 2015 and 2017. "I was injured in 2015, 2016 and most of 2017. So I've got a lot of patience. I've been training all this time. So I've felt like I've been training a lot, but I've been competing so little. I don't have to work to find the motivation. That drive comes from inside. It's not something I have to pick up. However, I have had to work on holding myself back in training. I think that on the day I don't have the motivation, I won't be able to continue anymore." (vasterastidning.se, 11 May 2019)
FUTURE PLANS
She hopes to continue her studies or start a career in coaching once she retires from the sport. "In the beginning I never thought about it, but then when I got injured [between 2015 and 2017] it occurred to me that it might be naive to think that I can quit when I want to. Then I started to think more about what I would do if I didn't have the gym. These thoughts led me to read up on the natural science subjects from high school. I'm a little in the mood to read biomedicine or something later, and I would like to work with that. But then I always think I will have the gym, but I don't know if I just want to be a coach. I probably want to do something else too." (vasterastidning.se, 11 May 2019)
