Virtuoos helps me to perform at my best every single day.
Although swimming is often seen as an individual sport, Marrit emphasizes the importance of team spirit. “Swimming is an individual sport, but you still need each other as a team. You often train together. That combination makes it fun for me.”
Marrit always tries to focus on the journey rather than just the end goal. “I always try to stay in the here and now and not be too focused on the result.” This mindset helps her feel more satisfied with her performances, regardless of the outcome.
