Athlete Comments & Reviews
“Go and do it, choose to live!”
“I want to choose to live my life, you only get one chance so why ywaste it, why waste your life thinking I wish I’d done something. Do it, get up, get out of your chair, Go and do it!”
“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.”
“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.”
