The Person
A lot of people know my name, have seen me on the pitch, or even recognize my face from campaigns, but very few truly know me. Sebastian Avanzini is a driven individual of mixed heritage—Italian, Korean, and Danish—who values family above all and is passionate about driving and inspiring change around the world. Here are a few keys.
Upbringing
Family is my foundation. With an Italian father and a Korean mother, I grew up between Italy and Denmark, learning the values of hard work, resilience, and respect for different cultures. This respect has led me to many different places around the world as a football player. My family has always been my anchor, supporting me in every step of my journey and reminding me that success is only meaningful when shared with those you love.
Lifestyle
My lifestyle is built around four key pillars: physical training, healthy habits, faith, and education. Training keeps me in top form, while healthy habits, including proper nutrition and sleep, ensure my body and mind are always ready for the challenges ahead. Faith provides me with purpose and perspective, and education keeps me constantly evolving. Together, these pillars guide my daily life, helping me stay focused, disciplined, and driven, both on and off the pitch
More Than an Athlete
Football has shaped my path, but there’s much more to my story. I hold a degree in Business Economics from Copenhagen Business School, which has provided me the tools to excel outside the football field. As a serial entrepreneur, I’m always looking for new ventures to challenge myself. I also use my platform to support charitable causes, particularly in education, where I aim to make a positive impact and inspire others to grow. For me, being an athlete is just one part of a broader journey.
