Quotes from The Empower Series with host Farida Osman:
- The extra additional pressure will not help athletes to perform better.
- I always remind myself why I started. That’s what keeps me going.
- I need to be psychologically happy to perform well.
- You need to find it within. You need to remind yourself why you are here and why you started in the first place. That always keeps me mentally stability.
- For me, my support system, without them… I literally talk to them about everything. I feel like because i have such a support system I always feel like I’m never alone… I have to make it my priority.
- It’s so important to have a strong support system. It doesn’t have to be your family.
- Social Media is all fake. They only post when things are all happy. No one posts the bad stuff.
- I remember it was just a very hard time for me. I remember crying everyday.
