"Sport should be fun. This is the first thing. I have had too many friends in fencing who were phenomena, but due to excessive personal and family expectations they have not learned to lose. In sport, more than celebrating a victory, you have to understand how to recover from a defeat." (fanpage.it, 15 Jan 2021)
