Beyond The Sport With Sarah Bäckman

What’s the biggest challenge in your life that you’ve overcome?

I lost everything that made me feel like me - my sport, my identity, my momentum. After years at the top as an 8x World Champion, I was forced to face what it means to start over, not once, but multiple times - after surgeries, heartbreak, and being stuck in a body that no longer felt like mine.

What motivates you?

What motivates me now isn’t proving I’m strong. I know I’m strong. It’s proving that you can break and still come back stronger. That being powerful and feminine are not opposites. And that your darkest chapters can become the most meaningful part of your story. That’s what drives me. Prove that you can do anything you put your mind to.

What’s your morning routine?

The first thing I do either while still in bed or with my coffee, is open my Bible app. I spend 10–20 minutes with it every morning. It grounds me and sets the tone for the day. After that, I catch up on emails and messages while I sip my coffee. That quiet, intentional start helps me feel focused and centered before the day picks up.

What are you most passionate about outside of your sport?

First and always - music. It’s a soul connection for me. No matter what I’m feeling, music grounds me, lifts me, and reminds me who I am. It’s been my comfort through every high and low. Second would be food, it’s absolutely a love language to me. I love discovering new places to eat, sharing meals, and cooking for people I care about. It’s not just about taste - it’s about presence, connection and joy. :)
