GO GOLD Athlete of the Week: Alex Schlindwein

1. What has been your biggest challenge?
Preparing for competitions whilst managing work at Uni.

2. What is the best thing that your sport has allowed you to do?
There are so many great things to choose from, competing at a high level and travelling to new places certainly stand out, but for me meeting new people (including my girlfriend!) has probably been the best thing.

3. How would your friends describe you?
Fun loving, silly, outgoing and probably annoying.

4. What are your hobbies outside of sport?
Reading a good book or just hanging out with friends.

5. If not a professional athlete, what job would you like to have when you are older?
I'm studying Medicine so hopefully a doctor!

6. Do you have anything else that you'd like us to know?
Just to say a massive thank you to GO GOLD, without whom pursuing sport at higher level wouldn't have been possible.
