My motto is, you have to get in a sport a day.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The great thing about sports is you constantly have to prove yourself. You constantly have to go out there and do it, day in and day out.
You need three things to win: discipline, hard work and, before everything maybe, commitment. No one will make it without those three. Sport teaches you that.
I get very into my sports.
Sport is my passion but I have a way to go.
In sports, every day you can be the hero or the goat.
Even now I want to keep my amateur spirit, to spend my time, to be in the sport with all my heart.
You really don't do anything else in your life; it's a very little bubble that you grow up in. And you have to live in that bubble because of the intensity of the sport.
I think that, generally, you need to live with your sport 24 hours a day.
As an athlete, you sort of just win every day. Because you're going to sometimes lose every day. And so you just keep picking yourself up and going forward.
The only way to prove that you're a good sport is to lose.
