Focus is the key

Do you think I was always planning to be a professional athlete?

Never did!

The focus was to serve my country. I am a military officer.

Lieutenant in reserve, to be more precise.

Did my focus change?

It didn’t.

I simply lost it for a couple of seconds while driving a motorcycle.

You know what happened next, right?

Hospital. Injury.

8 years without the possibility to move my right hand.

Focus!

Ah yes, and what about sports?

It helped me to stay in the game.

Just look from this angle: sports outfit – same uniform, competition – same battle, flag – the same.

Do you get it?

I am still serving my country.

Military and sports.

For many people, it sounds like a story about sacrifice but for me, it’s a story about privilege.

Focus is the key!

By the way… still driving (motorcycle).
