General
CHANGE IN APPROACH
After 19 years of competing at senior international level, in 2018 he won his first singles title at the world championships in Lasko, Slovenia. He attributed the victory to taking a more relaxed approach to the sport. "I had to change my mindset. Before, I was really obsessed with my results, but now I try to enjoy every moment of the day, every training session and every competition. Table tennis is my life, and I enjoy my life. With this mentality, I work hard to improve small details which can make the difference. Now I am sure that anything can happen in every competition that takes place. I know I will not win every tournament, but I know I can compete with the best players and this experience is the best I can have." (paralympic.org, 06 Dec 2018; marca.com, 22 Oct 2018)
