"The most important thing is perseverance, not only in swimming but also in any other sport and every aspect of life. Without dedication and perseverance nothing can be achieved. Hard training, good organisation of time and proper nutrition are also very important factors for the success of a swimmer or athlete. If everyone takes them into account and adheres to them, success is inevitable." (slobodenpecat.mk, 01 Sep 2020)
