Being a sportsperson, how do you manage to balance your time between family & sports?
Selina Wagner:
When I was 18, I went far away from home and was not able to see my family very often. At least for Christmas time and sometimes for birthdays I was able to go back home. But my parents were supporting me a lot in what I’ve been doing so they’ve visited a lot of my games. That was very nice. For me it was always important not to forget where I come from and that my family supported me all over the years.

You have earlier posed for German issue of Playboy featuring your teammates Annika Doppler, Ivana Rudelic, Julia Simic and Kristina Gessat. Share your word on body confidence & get rid of shaming? Which magazine would you like to be on the cover of, next?
Selina Wagner:
It was not so easy but it just helped me to join my friends. I just always try to be the best I can be, not everybody might always like it but it’s just important to believe in yourself – especially as a professional athlete.
As I’ve said earlier, I’ve just started the next step of my career, so the next cover I would want to be on should probably be some business magazine like Forbes. 😉
Namita Nayyar:
Who has been your greatest inspiration and motivator in your career?
Selina Wagner:
It’s hard to say, often I looked up to some of my teammates, that were very good players and an inspiration. They helped me, especially when I was injured twice with a torn ACL.
