Sorcha talks to us about the randomness of certain choices that take you to worlds you would never have imagined, she makes a good reflection on the relationship with races, competition without losing sight of self-care and the value of moments experienced in the water and in the relationship with others. The small moments and the awareness of how much sport helps you focus on yourself. ù
Thank you Sorcha!
