That defeat took a long time to get over, but at the same time, I never stopped telling myself that if I kept working hard, and kept giving it my all, that’s all I could do, the only thing I can control. Good things tend to happen when you have that mindset,” he said. And he clarified: “There have been times in my career when things were easy. That is the reality of sport, it is very difficult to stay at the top every week. It’s easy to have doubts at times when things aren’t working out.
