Athlete Comments & Reviews
“Sport helps in so many aspects of life”
“Through sport you learn self discipline, work hard on a target, on a goal you want to reach and that also helps for your career or for your work.”
“It’s not only about winning”
“I like competitive activities, I don’t have to win all the time. My wife is the same.”
“You just don’t want to leave”
“It’s impossible to let go, once you taste this adventure, when you come to these countries and compete and have these feelings and podium and everything. You just want it to continue.”
