In Alvik, Krog joined a local basketball-team and competed in Europe, and his team won several times. Krog had good grades from his highschool, although school never interested him much. Instead he liked sports and continued to play basketball and competed for some a time in the Swedish Championship. But eventually Krog chose to quit sports and focus on a literary career. Krog made his first debut in 1996 with "Under guds himmel" which literally translates to Beneath the sky of God.
