I have been a football fan since I was a child. This helped me recognise early on that you first have to analyse the strengths and weaknesses of your opponent and then integrate these into your personal strategy, but you also have to keep fighting to the very last minute, no matter whether you are winning or not. And this is exactly what I have to do every day in my work as a lawyer.
