''I left in January to Malaga, and when I went there I had another injury again. It was so frustrating, but I thought: 'I need to take good care of myself.
''I saw that I have to be responsible for these kinds of things.
''So I tried to change how I eat, my sleep and everything. I think I’m more professional, and more focussed on my body than before.
''Every time, when there is a problem, you try to figure out where it is coming from. I found out that sometimes it’s me, and I need to take good care of myself because it's my body. My sleep, my diet, everything - I tried to change everything, and I think I'm getting better.''
