Here is a 20 minute interview with Rebeka Koha!
Background: It was recorded at the end of her evening session, after a long day of travel to Germany for a Bundesliga competition (which was only one week after she became European champion at age 19 … !).
We talked about Europeans 2018, not missing in training and not taking days off training. I think / hope you will find the topics we covered interesting 🙂
