there was a young girl, who always had a desire to compete in sports. As a young girl, Sylvia grew up sheltered in the suburbs of Cologne, Germany. As a teenager her parents discovered that she was extremely gifted to play and possibly compete in sports in the future. Both parents decided to send Sylvia to an all sporting-boarding school for gifted children.

While away from home, Sylvia soon became independent and focused foremost on her academic career but never without losing the focus for her passion: SPORT.

Growing up as a young woman, Sylvia had the desire to test her limits. Subsequently, she has had a few trial and tribulations along the way. She has since learned from her mistakes but needed this time to find out who she was.

Sylvia went on to study Sport with a minor in English at the University. During that time she worked in many renowned fitness and sporting clubs as an aerobics instructor, trainer, and fitness model.

After the completion of her studies, followed a few years of finding herself and further exploring and identifying which industry Sylvia would be truly passionate about. So it was no accident, that the little girl, now all grown up, stumbled upon a picture of an American Figure Bodybuilding Athlete. Once she laid eyes on the picture Sylvia knew she had found her calling. She was mesmerized by the grace, beauty, sheer power, and discipline the picture commanded. Sylvia, who in her own life, loves to test her limits, has an undying passion for sport, beauty, and perfection suddenly saw herself to become just like the athlete in the picture.

The transition was an easy on for Sylvia. She joined the German Federation of Bodybuilding Club NAC, under which she has had her first success:

Sylvia is motivated by her success and continuously trains to mold her body into perfection. She does know that life is not always fair and can throw you a few punches along the way. Training injuries, becoming sick while preparing for a show or simple personal and family matter can be dreadful and time consuming. She feels that real athletes know how to deal with such setbacks and prioritize their importance. Her heart beats for the sport and is engrained in her DNA forever. The fitness-lifestyle will be with her for her entire life.

Sylvi is a firm believer in discovering your true passion, keeping individualist goals, and building on your own personal strength, but foremost you need to do it by never losing sight and keeping your personal authenticity.
