Airsoft

Airsoft isn’t just a hobby for me – it’s where I put leadership and strategy to the test in real time. Whether I’m leading a team through a complex scenario or adapting under pressure, it constantly challenges me to think fast, stay calm, and bring people together around a shared goal. It’s also helped me better understand group dynamics, motivate different personalities, and keep things running smoothly when the stakes are high. Turns out, a weekend game can teach you a lot about real-world leadership.
