Athlete Comments & Reviews
“I just want to see what I’m capable of!”
“If you want to do something, you do it, go for it! You don’t have to be in this. I’m swimming against myself, I’m living against myself.”
“Playing sport helps in daily life”
“I think competing is part of life. Life is all about competing, learning how to roll with the punches and get up and fight again for another day. And that’s what sports is all about.”
“Physical activity is a must, I’m back after 8 years”
“For me the most important is that you stay fit. I didn’t do any sport after giving birth for 8 years. Staying active improves the quality of life.”
