Tim Sopin on ORF Radio: Building Strength from Within

Tim Sopin sat down with one of Austria's most renowned and sought-after media programs — ORF Radio — to share his remarkable journey from a young athlete in a school with Olympic orientation to becoming a coach and entrepreneur in Graz.

Born in Ukraine, Tim moved to Graz in 2023. His foundation: 9 years as an athlete in a school with Olympic orientation — training 6 days a week, 6 hours a day in artistic gymnastics (Gerätturnen). This wasn't just training; it was a lifestyle built on discipline, repetition, and the pursuit of excellence.

Today, Tim is an assistant coach at VGT Graz, runs his own courses, and has founded two platforms: Peak Heading for adult mobility, handstand, and body awareness coaching, and Turnen mit Tim for children's gymnastics at ASKÖ Halle Graz.

"Tim tries to be better than yesterday, and tomorrow he will try to be better than today." — Tim Sopin, shared on ORF Radio

Finding Strength When It Feels Impossible

The core message Tim shared on ORF Radio resonates far beyond gymnastics: you can find strength and inspiration within yourself even if you're young, from another country, and it feels impossible.

Tim's story is proof that your background doesn't define your ceiling. Whether you're 18 starting a business, 25 changing careers, or a newcomer to Austria building a life from scratch — the principle remains the same: show up daily, be better than yesterday, and trust the process.
