Well, my biggest goal was becoming the European mixed martial arts champion. However, it was a complicated journey, but I managed to overcome all the obstacles in my way. All my friends and parents encouraged me and were always by my side, which gave me extra strength to keep going. I was really keen on sports; it was my hobby and my daily routine. Every day when I woke up, I knew that I had to go to training. Being well-disciplined helped me become the European champion. Furthermore, it was my own ambition to achieve the European championship. So when I won the championship, I was so proud of myself and very satisfied because I made it. Even though it was very hard for me, there is a strong saying: 'no pain, no gain.' I kept that in mind and continued, even though it was very challenging to do extra exercises at home. Every time I went to training, I felt completely exhausted because it was very demanding for me.
