World Freestyle (100m & 200m) Champion, David Popovici talks us through what it means to him to be great and the tools needed to be great! #arenawaterinstinct
People, this is what it means to be dedicated. Listen to his words... He talks about 10 years! And he says he wants to teach other people, improve, and be a role model. Yes, he is a role model already!! He's so smart. Think about it...when was the last time you spoke about time investment? We all pick up the gym, but we don't say we'll be there in 10 years' time. The brain power it takes to actually have that determination is huge.
Last part about the fight club film is sooo true. The narrator becomes such a brave and pure human being..... a very inspiring film to think about what really matters in life
Not everyone tries to be great -this is true .Otherwise the Great would not even get noticed ! The most of us are common people .This is the reason the Great is shining and You are one of the Great . We are all proud of You ! "Try , try again" -Rudyard Kipling ! In your case is just... carry on !

Very impressive 🤗 don't ignore your little voices from your head 🥰 I believe many people don't understand what that means. May God bless you David ❤️🤗❤️

We're a multilingual country, there are colleges / secondary schools that teach intensive language curricula, English is being taught as a second language at the EY stage, so most Romanians are bilingual from a very young age
In urban areas, yes. We are pretty dependent on English language content, too: movies, music, games, etc. In his case, as an athlete who is frequently in contact with people from all over the world, he was also forced to speak English a lot of the time.
Well he is following a highschool with an intensive english curriculum. More than that, he is part of a younger generation which cannot be too far away from everything internet and information is nowadays. Also, in Romania, a second language is quite common for young people raised in big cities.
Not everybody is gifted with a talent for languages. Not everyone has the same education and the same contact with foreigners, so that they are forced to develop their second language abilities. She can get her point across well enough and that's good enough for her needs and for a basic second language speaker.
He is on another level..mature beyond his years..a star child indeed
Yes indeed : he is quite mature for his young age
David is a very well-educated man. On top of that, he's a world champion. Thanks for existing David!

I guess any of us has something to learn by him. Not only great champion, great person also.
This" Kid " is supersmart 👍👏 his parents make a great job 👍👏
Așa e

He will definitely crush Dressel in 100m freestyle at 2023 World and 2024 Olympics.
Nothing is a given in sport
Two years in competitive swimming is a lot. There is always time for a new prodigy to erupt, mostly from the American labs.
Simona that kid is Thomas Heilman, but it’ll be a bit before he is dominating international competition
@@spacehead1au936 American or German? How old is he?
For sure. I love Dressel but this guy is something special
proud of you, our dear romanian, Popovici !❤🙏
Congratulations and God bless you!

Very impressive 🤗 don't ignore your little voices from your head 🥰

Those voices are from the devil that has the sole purpose of destroying us and take away from us all the good things that God gave us.

Cool 👍👏
Dang, his English is flawless! Is this common among young Romanian people?
We're a multilingual country, there are colleges / secondary schools that teach intensive language curricula, English is being taught as a second language at the EY stage, so most Romanians are bilingual from a very young age
No
@@xixi.mcmxcvi I think you are overstating it.

Ji
They interviewed him because hes sponsored
He speaks very good English compared with Halep who is way older , has way more money but her English sucks
No need to compare
Well he is following a highschool with an intensive english curriculum. More than that, he is part of a younger generation which cannot be too far away from everything internet and information is nowadays. Also, in Romania, a second language is quite common for young people raised in big cities.
And still her english really improved in the past years...why the need to compare tho
Her tennis is top and knowns her mother tongue. No need of knowing English or 10 other languages, no one force you and is her choice.
Not everybody is gifted with a talent for languages. Not everyone has the same education and the same contact with foreigners, so that they are forced to develop their second language abilities. She can get her point across well enough and that's good enough for her needs and for a basic second language speaker.
