NEW PERSPECTIVE
Following injury problems and having to give up on his goal of competing at the 2022 Olympic Winter Games in Beijing, he says he gained a new perspective on the sport after spending time focused on his university studies. "From that point on, I went to school full-time and wasted no time lamenting the situation. And in the end, it allowed me to advance my university extremely quickly by studying full-time in the winter and summer. My perspective on life and sport has changed enormously in recent years and this means that I am much more serene with the course of my life. Before, I felt a little empty doing only sport. I put a lot of pressure on myself to perform, but now I do sport because I love it. I would be able to quit and it wouldn't be the end of the world for me since I have other interests. It makes me appreciate the moments I experience in my sport much more." (rds.ca, 07 Nov 2023)
