Work hard. And have patience. Because no matter who you are, you're going to get hurt in your career and you have to be patient to get through the injuries.

Life's short, you know? Especially as an athlete. Your career is very short, and you use the opportunities that you have because you're not going to have them again.

I've worked hard over the years, I've been injured and I've worked hard through it, and I've made it.

If you can lessen the chance of a bad injury by being strong, you have to do it.

I've had a couple of years where injuries have not let me develop in the way I wanted. When I was 21, after the European Championship, I had more injuries. Everything has been less continuous and it has cost me more progress. Continuity is what got me where I am.

When you have an injury, you are hindered a little bit.

Injuries is a part of a sportsmen life; you have to live with it. You can't be down with that; it is not gonna help you.

In the past I've had a bad injury, and then struggled when I've got back because I've been unfit.

When you go through a significant injury and have a major career change, you truly do go one year at a time, and you don't look past what's going on now, because you are not sure what's going to happen. Tomorrow is not promised.

It would be nice if you have a hit. But I don't think it's necessary to continue with my career at this point.
