“I have always admired athletes and their mental strength. They seemed to share a secret that the rest of the world did not know. The secret to getting the best of yourself, beating yourself, and, finally, ‘living’ yourself. How to master yourself, your emotions, how to be free and responsible, vulnerable and authentic. How to win and how to lose, how to fall, and how to get up. How to be present here and now and never ever give up. The secret of that second when they create their own field of excellence. That’s not an easy road and it demands discipline, commitment, passion, desire, and maximum investment. My trainer’s name is Igor. My discipline is Mental Training. My road is called the best version of me. I train 24/7, 365 days a year.”
