Through the blog that she holds on the Red Bull website, Sofia Goggia made her feelings known after a two-week period without skiing, following the debut in Soelden, and at the beginning of an important training like that of Copper Mountain , approaching the stages of the World Cup between Killington and Lake Louise. "Despite the fact that she nevertheless managed to comply perfectly with the training programs, I had a slight slowdown because, coming back from the osteopath, I was involved in a chain collision - Sofia said about the motorway accident last week - Nothing serious, so much so that last Friday at 7 am I was already in the gym. The episode itself was a bit 'heavy in the media, the media have turned something of nature is not at all (because of road accidents so many happen every day), in a news; I would say that this is the other side of the coin and, as a friend said, the price of ... "Being Sofia" (this is how his blog was named, ed). The downhill skier from Bergamo now has the opportunity, and the need, to concentrate 100% on skiing in the two weeks of work in the States: â€œI believe that nothing is ever by chance, therefore, grateful to have come out of it totally unharmed, I take this little accident of course (literally!) as an additional starting point for implementing the reset that I had already told you about - It is time to ski and to concentrate solely on the really important and concrete things, the ones that make me and that have made me so far. happy. I expect 15 days of training and I am really happy because in these two weeks I will finally have the chance to live skiing 100%, to dedicate myself to the snow, without thinking of anything else, without distractions â€. Finally one of his classic quotations, this time suggested by his father Ezio: "My father, a simple and very frank man, urged me with a sentence of his, those that wake you up from torpor like a cold shower:" Sofia, a good farmer, to have fruits with the tree he has, prune the dry branches. He knows that in that way he will have fewer fruits, but those he will have will be bigger and better. Less but more â€. As the Americans say, "Less is more": if we think too much about quantity, we end up giving up quality and this applies to all aspects of life. I know myself well and I know perfectly well that I am obsessive and a perfectionist, I tend to control everything, which is why I still have to learn to delegate to other extra activities that are not up to me and this gathering is the perfect occasion: I want to finally give my life full quality of sporting, living every single thing with presence and mental clarity, and to do so I will leave aside everything that instead makes me dissipate precious energies ".
