Ms. Namita Nayyar:
Who has been your greatest influencer and motivator in your success in the field of your career in competitive professional taekwondo?
Ms. Carmen Marton:
My parents. They have come to Australia as refugees from and worked so hard to build a high quality of life for me and my siblings. I am motivated by them to reach my full potential – it is not only my dream but my obligation.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
At the age of 14 you became the youngest athlete from Australia to win selection on a senior National Team when you took part in the Taekwondo World Cup in Vietnam. You have came a long way from there to become a World Champion in 2013. Share with us about the kind of training, endurance, discipline and hard work that went to produced a World Champion like you?
Ms. Carmen Marton:
Being consistent is key. From the age of 8 I would train 3 days a week and I would rarely miss a session unless I was sick or I had a major school assessment. Now I train up to 10 sessions a week and again, I rarely miss a session. Some mornings I have to be up at 5am to start training at 6, I have to push myself physically and mentally. There will always be tough moments, where you hit a wall, where you might not be successful in a tournament but you must never give up. There is always something to learn. But most importantly you must always have the love for what you do – love for my parents, love for my dreams, love for my coaches and friends and the privilege of travelling overseas.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
With exceptional hard work you are credited with all your achievements. Do you believe that does the hand of Providence (Supreme Being) played a role in your success?
Ms. Carmen Marton:
Yes, I believe we all have our own destiny and at times our success may be already determined. But I also believe a lot of the responsibility lies within us. If you were born a physically and mentally healthy human being, you have the responsibility to work hard towards what you dream for.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
