Q: You recently wrote a post where you thanked your haters, who only motivate you to move forward. Do you feel there are more of them now?
Daniel Grassl:No, I just realized that I have become stronger. A year ago, such messages would hurt me, but now they really motivate me. I have matured a lot. That old Daniel was weak, but now I’m a completely different person.
The meaner the comments, the more strength and energy I have to prove to these people that I skate for a reason. A year ago, there was only talk about how my career was over – and look, I already have two Grand Prix medals this season.
i think this is a very important part of this interview, i hope he keeps this mindset going on.
