What is your biggest passion and why?

My biggest passion is Polo. I love the adrenaline, the pressure, the horses and the sport in general.

What is your all-time best polo memory?

I have many great memories from polo. Which is the beautiful thing about the sport, my best polo memory would be playing and winning a 6 goal tournament about six or seven years ago with my grandpa (Ted Brinkmann), my father (Andres Weisz) and my brother (Christian Weisz).

Who were/are your favourite teammates?

Every single teammate that I have played with has been amazing and I am very lucky. In particular players like Pelón Stirling, Nico Pieres and Facu Pieres are incredible players and such great people as well, so I’m very lucky and grateful to have played with them and I learned a lot from them.
