Sporting philosophy / motto"Training is a chase for perfection. I know that perfection is not attainable, but I will naively follow it. I want to be as close as possible." (tvp.pl, 27 Nov 2019)  
Other informationPSYCHOLOGY
She has a passion for psychology. "Apart from short track, my biggest passion for years has been psychology. I have not had the chance to study psychology yet, but it is something that fascinates me. Sometimes I use my psychology knowledge on the ice rink, but during competitions you can't think or analyse too much. You have to react quickly using your instincts, the practice of certain movements and your intelligence." (tvp.pl, 27 Nov 2019)
