I don't want to be competing in a sport where I feel that I'm here not on my talent and my hard work but because of a piece of equipment.

What I want is that I can match my performances during training so I can be satisfied with myself.

You can work really hard, but if you're not training in the right way you're not going to improve and get to the level that you want to.

From my training I can get a good idea of what I'm capable of.

Training hasn't been consistent for the last week or so which was a bit annoying, but going into the competition I just had to get myself into the right mind frame.

Training is a universal right. It's not just targeted at those with the worst skill levels.

I compete against myself in competitions anyway, so I train against myself in practice.

It's all to do with the training: you can do a lot if you're properly trained.

Having no competition is a bad thing. Competition makes you try to improve yourself all the time.

In the sports arena I would say there is nothing like training and preparation. You have to train your mind as much as your body.
