Volker Herrmann [personal]

She began competing in high jump at secondary school before taking up the 400m in her first year at university. She started competing in distance running in 2017. (sportplus, 12 May 2015)

She followed her two older sisters into the sport. "I absolutely love being active and expending the energy I had when I was younger. However, as I grew older, I developed a more serene enjoyment of the sport, having to expend the stress I accumulated through my studies and work." (law, 27 Sep 2022; fcbc, 2015)

To compete at the 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou, People's Republic of China. (sportplus2)

"I do seven to 10 sessions a week most weeks. On my recovery week I have at least six sessions, so that is one rest [or non-training] day every month." (thebeaulife, 25 Aug 2022)

Coach Volker Herrmann. (law, 27 Sep 2022)

Philosophy:

"My motivations and values as an athlete and person have evolved quite a bit since I was younger. My values as an athlete and a lawyer - basically 'work' - are primarily to be competent, courageous, and resilient. These values have shaped my attitude and motivation in training, competitions, and at work." (thebeaulife, 25 Aug 2022)

In 2011 she was one of five athletes to receive the inaugural Sports Scholarship from Team NUS, the office of student affairs in Singapore. (nus, 01 Oct 2011)

"I'm not a full-time athlete. You just have to prioritise, train efficiently and it's really not impossible." (LinkedIn profile, 07 Oct 2022; straitstimes, 06 Aug 2022)
