Maxi, was there a highlight from last season that you would like to tell us about?

My personal highlight was the FESA Games in Prémanon, where I finished second together with the Austrian team.

What was particularly challenging for you last season?

I struggled throughout the season to find my form. Even so, I tried to stay focused on myself, keep working hard and never give up.

What goal have you set yourself for the coming season?

My goal is to fight my way back into an Austrian Ski Federation squad and continue developing as an athlete.

Who was a particularly important source of support for you during the season?

My biggest supporters were definitely my parents, my teammates, my coach Daniel Lackner and the Vorarlberg Ski Association.

About the Ski-Club and its history

How long have you been part of the Ski-Club, and how has the club supported you?

I have been a member of Ski-Club Arlberg since the 2014/15 season. From 2017/18 to 2019/20 I was part of the SCA Newschool Team. After that, I took up ski jumping, and Ski-Club Arlberg supported me in that discipline from the very beginning as well.

The Ski-Club is celebrating its 125th anniversary this year. What does this long tradition mean to you personally?

It makes me proud to be part of the oldest and best-known ski club in the world. I particularly value the fact that the club preserves its long tradition while continuing to support young athletes.

Is there a role model from the Ski-Club who has particularly inspired you?

I do not have one specific role model, but I admire all the athletes who have represented the Ski-Club successfully.

Do you remember a special anecdote or story from your time with the Ski-Club that will always stay with you?

I still remember travelling to competitions with my freestyle coach Giggo Wolf. I was by far the youngest in the group at the time. Once I won a sweater as a prize that almost reached down to my ankles.

What creates the sense of togetherness in the Ski-Club for you? Are there rituals, traditions or moments that are typical of the club?

I think it is especially great that Ski-Club Arlberg places so much emphasis on developing young athletes. Young people are given the opportunity to pursue their passion and receive the best possible support along the way.

If you imagine the Ski-Club another 25 years from now, what do you hope for the future of the club and for the next generation of athletes?

I hope Ski-Club Arlberg remains true to its long tradition and offers future generations the same opportunities and positive experiences that I was fortunate enough to have.
