| Sporting philosophy / motto |
"I search for weak points and surprise my opponent. I use a weapon to fight but use my mind to win. In my sport I must remain focused. I must watch vigilantly and strike swiftly. I see myself winning over and over before I actually do. I keep on pushing because I keep on breaking my own limits." (thedeeeva.com, 27 Nov 2021) |
