First do it, then say it.
Even now, I want to keep my amateur spirit, to spend my time, to be in the sport with all my heart.
I think that, generally, you need to live with your sport 24 hours a day.
Often you need to take some risk, but it must be a realistic risk, you can't take a crazy risk.
I am alone, some people help me, but, basically, I can do what I want.
And, of course, method is very important as is a high-quality specialist (trainer) working with you to keep you going in the right direction for your improvement and to help create results.
