A journey that started early
Apostolos - Pavlos involvement with the sport began at the age of 4 years old due to his father, who has been trained at the French National School of Skiing & Alpine Skiing (ENSA) as a ski coach and ski instructor. Growing up in a family dedicated to skiing, he had the opportunity from a young age to be exposed to the sport and surrounded by professionals.

The passion for sport and the constant commitment
His hobbies include various sports, such as swimming, gymnastics, football, basketball and tennis, while he excels in sailing, participating in races of the Nautical Club of Skiathos.

He participated for many years in the activities of the camp YMCA Pelion, with distinctions as a Polynesian athlete, while learning to cooperate, coexist with others and work as a team. Daily morning wake-ups, a well-cared for & nutritionally balanced diet, school commitments, afternoon workouts at the gym and lots of travel is his routine.
