"The support of your parents is necessary to start a top sport career. There are of course more things involved: you have to stay injury-free and have talent. But I think the parents are also a big factor. Not only driving, but also the education and understanding of top sport. I think my brother, sister and I have been very lucky in that. Because we have a parent who has also done top sport and of course also the financial aspect. Certainly at a young age you just need your parents. If you start with top sport, they will still have to invest in your sport. If you reach the top, you can take it over yourself. But in the beginning, your parents may be the most important factor in your career."
