Keys to success and rebounding from failure

“I think hard times are normal, you’re going to go through hard times. I found it difficult
because I’d never been through those situations before. But in hindsight I learnt a huge amount about myself and it changed my life”

How to overcome challenging times

“Having the passion to be the best at something. Whether or not you get there is
immaterial. But that obsession, that passion consumes you and helps in difficult
circumstances”
