Motivation, Inspiration and Courage!

Lecturer: Anja Pärson
Time: 12:20-13:00
Local: Aula Nordica

Anja’s lecture is based on her career and deals with how to get the mental strength needed to dare to go right when everyone else goes left and to find something positive when adversity is at its greatest. Anja explains how she used visualisation and mental power to not only reach the world alpine elite, but also stay at the top for 14 years and then create a rich life, with love, children and cool challenges, such as being an adventurer and TV presenter. Anja highlights the importance of believing in yourself and having the confidence to say “I am the best”, and talks about how we can trick ourselves into success.

With 42 World Cup victories, 1 Olympic gold, 1 Olympic silver, 4 Olympic bronze, 7 World Cup gold, 2 World Cup silver and 4 World Cup bronze, Anja Pärson is one of the world's top athletes and the only Swede to be awarded the Bragdguldet two years consecutively. After her alpine career, Anja has appeared in a variety of TV contexts, including winning the "Mästarnas mästare 2024".
