The joy of sports among friends
As a young girl and later as a teen, Sigrid spent 100% of her time dancing ballet… evenings, weekends, and summers; it was all she thought about. Even when she wasn’t dancing, she wore her ballet flats or pointes. This discipline has always been dear to her.Later, as an adult, she continued to dance, but along the way, she discovered a love for new sports, driven by her desire to be with friends. Today, she hikes, skis, works out at the gym, goes to spinning classes and jogs, but always as a means of socializing. For her, staying active with friends is one of life’s great pleasures.
For the past 20 years, Sigrid has also been involved in programs to help encourage teens to stay in school. Through that commitment, she’s had countless opportunities to see how vital sports are to the development of young people. Her own daughter Mathilde is proof of that and a great source of inspiration. From her very first day at school, Mathilde has been forced to show great resilience, doing her very best to succeed. And throughout it all, sports have been a way to blossom and discover her inner strength. Today, sports are still an important part of Mathilde’s daily life. And together with her mom Sigrid, the two will take part in the FitSpirit Mother/Daughter Challenge, a fact that fills them both with pride.
"No matter what the activity, from swimming to dancing to volleyball and others, sports have always helped me be my very best. I especially love team sports because sharing a win or even a loss with friends is a feeling that motivates me more than anything. Today, I’m a coach, and the smiles on my players’ faces give me a huge sense of well-being." – Mathilde, 18 years old
The FitSpirit Mother/Daughter Challenge will undoubtedly reach new heights this year, thanks to the many talents of this great communicator, who knows how to inspire everyone around her to be their very best.
