I am very proud of my career, the achievment, and the way I did it.
This is my life, handball made me the person I am today. I have all the memories from my career all the people I have met and the friends I have made. I would like to share these memories and knowledge I have with people who want to play this sport.
Everything started on 11th November in 1990. I signed as a handball player to a team in Pécs called Lepke (means butterfly in hungarian - team has had many names and maybe that was not even the name at the time, but I like this the most of them all), that was the place where I started learn handball.
It started withtough work, tiring and inspirational training sessions, camps, matches with lots of experiences, lessons, sometimes failures and luckily with lots of victories and recognition. But it was worth it, because I could wear every sportspear sons dream, the national team jersey.
For me it was always a special event to wear the national team jersey, nothing can ever replace that feeling of playing for your country. It was a huge recognition to be part of the Hungarian National Team on several occasions.
When I read the following recognition we received after becoming eurpoean champions given to us by the minister, I still shivering:
“The stump of the republic bears testimony of the pride, which is felt by the hungarian nation, that You are amongst the world best sportswomen.”
