Quotes
Keep working hard. You can’t just be talented and not put the work in. You need to put the work in every single day – even during the holidays or any period that you might have off. Of course, recovery is key.
Listen to your body. You know how you feel. But, you need to be hungry to get out there and play so it’s about that winning mentality you have to have. Without that, why would you want to go out there and compete?

I was fortunate enough to have gone through a system that exposes you to more structural areas in terms of how the pathway is given to us as players and students.
Vimbela wants to continue being a better player Supersport (24 February 2023)
It requires a high level of mental strength and physical preparation, in terms of what you need to do to get back into the court.
Getting there is hard enough, but staying there is harder. You have to be so consistent, you can’t drop the ball on anything that you commit to. It’s hard work, putting in the extras where you lack or know where you need to improve.
It is challenging mentally because some days, you don’t want to do this but you have to. It’s tough, but that'’s what you’re there to do, that’s your job. That’s the level of competition that you’re playing.
You have to set the standards, and you can’t drop the ball.
