Sports

Tennis is where my competitive energy lives today. It’s an individual sport disguised as a conversation — between opponents, surfaces, conditions, and your own decisions under pressure.

Progress comes from pattern recognition, honest feedback, and sustained effort over time. I play competitively, train deliberately, and enjoy the slow accumulation of marginal gains — technically, physically, and mentally.

Before tennis, I competed in Muay Thai, where I won a novice division WTA title.

Training and competing in a full-contact sport taught me things no spreadsheet ever could: how to stay composed while uncomfortable, how preparation shows up under stress, and how quickly theory collapses without execution.

It was a period defined by intensity, humility, and repetition — and it permanently shaped how I approach challenge.

Snowboarding was my introduction to flow, risk, and teaching physical systems. As an instructor, I learned how to break complex movement into fundamentals, adapt explanations to different learners, and balance confidence with safety in changing conditions.

It was also my first experience learning for the sake of mastery rather than competition — a reminder that not all progress needs a scoreboard.
