When people tell me that I have a natural talent in freediving, I tend to nod in silence, but really, deep down I don’t agree, and I feel my past experiences and hard work are somewhat diminished by the word “talent”.

Whilst my ego agrees it’s nice to feel you have somehow been infused with godliness at birth, on the contrary I feel very human and my ‘talent’ is only a consequence of my hard work (hard skills) and past experiences (soft skills).
