"I combined athletics with other sports like football and futsal until age 15. I also ran cross-country races. But I decided to stick with athletics because I was good at it. At that time, I did not like to suffer much, but everything changed from age 15 when I started with another coach and learned what discipline and effort were. All this helped me a lot to take the step, three years later, of requesting a grant from the Sant Cugat High-Performance Centre in Barcelona, Spain." (eldia.es, 19 Jul 2021)
