It is safe to say that this young man from Crans-Montana was born with skis on his feet. But it takes much more than that to become a top-tier athlete! A football goalkeeper in summer and hitting the slopes in winter, he finally made his choice at the age of 14. There, his tenacity and his coaches proved to be his greatest strengths. Thanks to his mindset and his support network, he achieved his first professional goal: joining the Swiss Ski C-Frame.
While maintaining his momentum, he keeps his feet firmly on the ground, completing a concurrent training program in retail management for a sports store.Languages spoken by the speaker

As Luca Aerni demonstrates, being an elite athlete is no barrier to managing a business; in fact, it highlights transferable skills that are exceptionally valuable. Among other topics, we will explore resilience, strength of character, understanding one's limits, and uncovering the drivers of motivation that truly work for us.
