To lift our spirits a little (all of us!), we have prepared 7 quotes from outstanding figures in Polish sports, which we hope will give you an extra boost and remind you of what is important to us as athletes and active people.
Quotes from Polish athletes
"People say I have a tough character, but it's all about confidence. I'm very confident - not arrogant. But people often don't understand that. I'm very confident because I know how much work I put in every day in training."
- Joanna Jędrzejczyk, boxing, muay thai, kickboxing and mixed martial arts (MMA) competitor
"The perfect motivation on the way to a set goal are other people – those who achieve that goal."
- Robert Lewandowski, football player
"(...) a tennis player usually always has pain. Probably every professional athlete. It's bad when nothing hurts."
- Agnieszka Radwanska, tennis player
"I think it's better to do your thing quietly and then surprise with the result."
- Robert Kubica, racing and rally driver
“If a person programs himself for something, he can perform miracles.”
- Maja Włoszczowska, mountain biker
"Every jump is an unknown and a new experience. At some point you lose contact with the ground and you are left to the air and wind. I don't have panic fear or the thought "I'm scared, I can't do it" at all. The further I jumped, the more I enjoyed it. The longer I was in the air, the more I wanted to run to the top of the jump and fly again. I have that feeling to this day."
- Kamil Stoch, ski jumper and Olympic champion.
"Everyone has a chance. You just have to want to use it. The gift itself is not enough. It can lie dormant within you and never wake up if you yourself do not want to wake it up."
- Adam Małysz, ski jumper and rally driver
So how do we keep fighting despite all the odds? Remember, we are in this together!
