Balancing personal and professional commitments is tough for any athlete. But it’s not every day you come across a young sports star who shows equal love for both their personal relationships and the country they represent. Well, Croatian point guard Nika Muhl recently nailed this balance on one of her social media posts.
On her official Instagram, Nika Muhl shared a post featuring her wearing a necklace with a pendant shaped like the map of her homeland, Croatia. She paired it with a stunning black one-piece, making the necklace stand out and adding a chic touch to her look. The same video from the post was also shared as her Instagram story.
However, what really topped it off was the 23-year-old sharing a video of her boyfriend, Nahiem Alleyne, on the court before her necklace endorsement post, which was a collaboration with ‘Happy Jewelers’ and featured artist ‘Clay Ashworth.’ In her Instagram story, she captioned the video with, ‘Headband Na’ (referring to Nahiem Alleyne). This thoughtful gesture subtly reveals how the young star is skillfully balancing her relationship and patriotism, showing that her personal values play a big role in her life.
