“As long as they win, it’s fine, the problem is when they start losing. Does not matter. The problem is that I can’t affect the game like I used to. You have to transfer your mentality, mood and experience to the other players. A lot of people ask me if I’m pretending, but I’m not. What you see is what you get. Where I come from, it’s important to be confident.

I think it starts at a young age and then it depends on how far you want to take it. I believe in discipline and hard work” and closed by saying:

“At a young age, you prepare the spiritual part for when you reach the big stage. Either they “eat” you, or you “eat” them. There are different kinds of characters and different personalities. At a young age, I was very aggressive on the court, but I lacked the balance in how to treat people around me. With more experience, I started to hug and protect someone. It was a different approach, but with young players, you have to push them».
