Athletics, Jacobs: “I risked never walking again, never give up”

Rome, 18 June. (askanews) – Don’t give up at the first difficulties and persist towards your goal. It is the social message of Marcell Jacobs who wanted to respond with a long post on Instagram and a long list of victories accompanied by a history of stops that he had to overcome, since 2015, the very serious injury for which it was not known if I could returning to running in 2013, with the injury to the sciatic nerve sheath with the risk of almost never walking again: “All this is to tell you not to give up at the first difficulty, not to give up when everything seems to be going badly, to resist and continue to fight, to truly believe in what your dream is and face all the difficulties that life will throw at you! – commented Jacobs -. It is only with dedication, hard work and focus on the goal that you achieve your dreams, and as I did, you can do it too! Because I believe in you!”. Among the numerous messages received, that of the mental coach Nicoletta Romanazzi stands out, who followed the Olympic champion in the most complicated moments: “It’s exactly like this, we cannot avoid the difficult moments, the obstacles, the falls, the mistakes, the failures, but we can work on them to transform them into new awareness that will allow us to achieve even better results. And you are living proof of this. Chapeau.”
