- • «Due to my double burden of being a top-class sportsperson and completing medical studies, I quickly had to learn a strategy that enabled me to perform at my best in both areas and also deal with defeats. Resilience is very important to me and I have learned that there are always solutions, even if it sometimes seems impossible. Competitive sport is a school of life. You learn to win, but above all you learn discipline, perseverance and team spirit. I was also able to apply these skills during my medical studies and got to know resilience from a medical perspective.»
