Outside academics, I keep myself busy with things that are quite different from one another. Fencing, flag football and electric guitar may seem like an unlikely combination, but all three give me the same thing: the experience of directing full concentration towards something I have chosen.
🤺 Sport
Fencing
Saint Benoît Fransız Lisesi
Fencing is not just a sport; it is a physical test of quick decision-making and focus. Every bout calls for a different tactical approach, which keeps me engaged both physically and mentally.
Flag Football
Saint Benoît Fransız Lisesi
As a team sport, flag football teaches something quite different from individual sports: communication and synchronisation. Being in the right place at the right moment is more complex than it looks.

Electric Guitar

Playing electric guitar is my most effective way of temporarily switching off from thinking. You are learning something technical, but your mind goes somewhere else entirely.
