Valentin Lavillenie's mindset of champions
Everything we do will lead to what happens next: what brings us to this or that situation. In sports if you don’t prepare properly, you can’t expect miracles. On the other hand, if you prepare well, you know that you’ve got several cards in your hand to fight with. There’s no such thing as chance, neither in sport nor in life in general.

"I mainly use KEY ONEs in competitions for transport and storage, that's really the bulk of my use. I also sometimes put them on my spikes to avoid surfaces like concrete when I have to move around on the stages during the competition. On the other hand, today's nail tips offer fewer and fewer possibilities for removing/changing nails, so KEY ONE nails offer a real advantage in protecting qpikes and spikes tips. At training I put them on quickly to go to the toilet to walk on the tiles, it saves me wasting time taking my spikes off and putting them back on."
