What do ambitious professional goals have to do with extreme sports? In order to get to the South Pole without help, to conquer Mount Everest and K2, you have to use your full potential, says Anja Blacha: “Mental strength, resilience and risk management are crucial, in business and in sports.”
The extreme athlete knows what she is talking about: She is the woman who has completed the longest polar expedition to the South Pole – alone, with a sled weighing more than 100 kilograms, 1400 kilometers through the Antarctic in 58 days. In 2017, she was the first German woman to climb K2 without bottled oxygen, and also the youngest German to climb Mount Everest. She has also climbed the seven highest mountains in the world.
