A variegated February is behind me . This is the month when there are always great things happening to me. From victories at the world championships and the Olympics to publication of my biography and important role in international television Eurosport.

Experience in the role of 'The Coach' seemed a great opportunity to explain key things in a short description of the World Championship in St. Moritz.

If I compare my athletic-professional schedules with the schedules of sports journalism - they are completely different. The intensity of the so-called 'dead-line a' is not an easy task. Accountability and accuracy within a limited time are extremely important. And when you manage to complete such a task, you feel happy pleased and proud ... I seems like some kind of a victory.

But this is not a victory, which my organism is used to. This is not a victory when you get out of breath, physically tired, raise your hands and fall to the ground of satisfaction. This is a different world, where the winning is experienced in a different way. That is what I have to get used to. A deeper understanding of professional journalism was, for me, one of the key acknowledgement and respect for GOOD journalists is increasing.

The highlight this month is undoubtedly publication of my (auto)biography JAZ.TINA., which was written in the last years with my friend and journalist Vito Divec. The first comments encouraging. The book discovers what struggles with myself I had to go to, so I could achieve superior results. Records from the diary are unique story moments when I thought deeply about myself. Maybe I forgot to add one sentence ... For sports and possibly life is often easier and better if you can be more "stupid" at certain moments more 'stupid' and superficial than too deep and 'smart'.

I wish you a pleasant March if it`s needed ... and at times even "stupid"! :)
