I think what it takes to succeed remains the same. You have to have a real love of your sport to carry you through all the bad times, you still want to go ski even when things aren't working. You must have a commitment to work hard and to never give up. ↗
So it was a thing that my mother always taught me to go for your goals and never give up no matter what they are, and I started believing that later on in life. ↗
Never give up and don't ask why because every situation does not need an answer. I'm a firm believer that I don't worry about anything I can't control. ↗
