CASE STUDY

The Context:
Well there is nothing special in how I started doing sports. The coach met me one day on the street in the center of the town and told me about the sport and the possibility to train. He sounded very excited about it, so he also made me excited. The sports facilities in our school are quite good. Physical education is my favorite subject at school.
Balancing Sport and Education:
Daily I train around 2-3 hours. I spend around the same time for studying too. One of my biggest achievements in sports is 5th place in the State championship 2013 and 3rd place in the State team championship the same year. Sport doesn’t affect my grades at school in any way.
Future Perspectives:
My future plans involve pursuing sports career at national level, study in a university, and find a job in the field of medicine and recreation.
