Goals:
In high school I studied Physics. At first I don’t like it, but several months in these classes I loved it. I managed at ease with the material and it was very interesting for me. That is why my grades in Physics are excellent and I wish to continue study it in university. And one day I want to have a Master’s degree or why not a Ph.D. in Physics. Despite my love to Physics, I am keen on also in Mathematics, Engineering and other subject from the science field.

Elite “When I started to swim I was doing it for my health. After several months there was a big swimming championship. In it most of the gold medals were taken by the Americans and most of them were training in colleges. That is why I have set a goal, one day to compete in college and to be part of a big team.� Viktor Yotov

Interview
What makes you different to other athletes? First, I am very ambitious and I do not give up easily, despite the difficult situations. I always give my best in every practice, so I can reach my goals. Second, I have a good base in Science, not only in Physics and Mathematics, but also in Chemistry and Biology. Furthermore, I have the quality to combine both academics and athletics. That is something that I learned in high school and managed well with it. Finally, I have a quality that not many swimmers could have. I can swim long distances in butterfly as 400m, 800m or 1200m. For example: I swam 400m fly (SCM) 4:50.00. However, this time in not official because the lack of such discipline in swimming.
College Goals My college goal is to make the university/college and its team to become the best. I do not fear being very busy and hard working. I want to be the No.1 athlete on the team and will do what it takes to win important meets and even National championships.
Life Goals My life goals are simple but hard to achieve. One of them is to find an enjoyable work, as engineer, physicist or something linked with computers. And that can be done with the help of a college. Another goal and dream is to go to the biggest sport event - The Olympic Games. Since I was a kid, a dream to compete in the Olympics. Now this is a goal that I am pretty sure I can achieve in college. Another one is to have a big family and I can provide to them anything that they want.
