Growing up, sport was everything to me, and for good reason too. Sport has really helped me through a lot of things and phases in life. And from different perspectives: sport has been fun, of course, but it has also helped me overcome real problems and made me stronger. I found a community and gained self-confidence. In a way, I've found a home through the sports I've done, especially snowboarding. The positive impact of this unique global foundation that specifically supports youth programmes related to sport is huge and it's great to be a part of it. We as athletes and ambassadors have the platform to communicate about this wonderful work in the programmes to create awareness and also help fund the programmes, whether it's skateboarding in Afghanistan, surfing in South Africa or biking in Munich.
