Do sports? Does it have to be?<\/strong> For many, sport is a rather tiresome topic… But how sport can make you really self-confident and how you can outgrow yourself – even as a sport muffler<\/strong> – is what our power women Tu\u011fba, Daniela and Franziska<\/strong> tell you today in their #passionstories.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Basketball player Daniela Woytewicz – from a sports slacker to an enthusiastic team athlete<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

“My story is not one that starts with “I’ve been athletic all my life.” Quite the opposite”<\/strong>, Dani tells in an interview with “Fan von DIR”. Daniela (32 years old, from Cologne) <\/strong>was rather a sports muffler<\/strong> until her Abi and counted herself rather to the sort “sportily rather not talented”. “It was only at the age of 19, after graduating from high school, that I had the courage to say: I want this. I’m going to do it. <\/strong>And I went to a try-out for the Telekom Baskets Bonn women’s team. And stayed for two years.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Strong together – Dani’s love for team sports<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

“Team sports have so blatantly enriched my life,”<\/strong> she reveals. “I learned there for the first time that it’s not about performance,<\/strong> but about fun.<\/strong> That there is no such thing as “athletic” and “unsportsmanlike” in teams,” Dani says in the interview.” I just love how my team sticks together, supports each other, laughs, and works hard. <\/strong>Not for money, not for career, not for themselves alone – but for everyone together, as a hobby and balance to everyday life.”<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s never too late to start<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

“And I would argue no one can tell from the outside that I “only” started at 19. Because having fun really makes up for a lot. And of course, a good amount of practice,”<\/strong> she promises with a laugh. “You can always start, no matter how old you are, and after a while you master the sport.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dani’s #girlsforgirls tip about sports and self-confidence<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

“Don’t let stereotypes and role models define you. If you feel like learning a sport: do it.<\/strong> It doesn’t matter if you used to be chosen first or last in gym class. You can do it, do it!<\/strong> There are NOT just two categories of “athletic” or “non-athletic” women and girls. There is so much more: passion, team, hard work, diligence, and fun. And that should always come first.”<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
