At the Credit Suisse Sports Awards Vivamost talked to Nicolas Siegenthaler. He is the trainer of Nino Schurter, the 2018 best Swiss male athlete.
Siegenthaler has been training the VTT Olympian champion for the last 18 years and was able to help him improve his mental, endurance, technics and much more.
He is a trainer for handball and a school teacher. He said as mountain bike is an outsider in sports, his nomination and Nino´s mean a lot for the sport. “We have to be present and we have to use it for our sport,”he stressed.
When we asked him what his 2019´s favorite moment was he responded that it was for sure the victory in Mont St Anne in Canada with Nino. He continued by saying while laughing “However if I would answer a little like the Dailah Lamah I would say my favorite moment is with you because we are alive now, what´s past is past and what´s coming we don´t know. It means my favorite moment is now.”
We do prepare next year he continued but the present will bring us to the future. The most important is now!
