The story of Asror Mukhitdinov, who is a talented wrestler from Uzbekistan is incredibly interesting, especially for your readers who want to achieve as bright achievements as this sportsman. Asror shares his life details in the interview below.
Will you please describe the details of your unique career and educational background. How has it influenced your life?
I’m incredibly self-motivated and live in accordance with my plans. Self-motivation is a skill that permits performing essential tasks and duties more effectively. I like to set ambitious goals and achieve them all. I have other motivating factors, such as money, love, and the need for recognition. Understanding my desires and priorities helps me remain motivated and not miss opportunities. In the beginning of my career, I was afraid of not achieving the set goal. My determination to achieve the major targets is unbreakable. For that reason, I never stop learning from my shortcomings.
To keep myself motivated, I set daily targets, do exercises, and keep a track of my progress. It is a way to reach my targets. Thanks to such an approach, I was proud to be recognized as one of the best wrestler professionals in the country and my national team. I treat every obstacle as my opportunity.
Will you please describe the conditions in which you were raised as a child. Where were you born? What did you like to do as a child?
Childhood memories are always great. I was born on February 14, 1994 in Bukhara. After my kindergarten, my family moved to the capital where I could get higher education. My father used to work as a local taxi driver, while my mother was a housewife. I grew up in a middle-class family. I was very interested in doing sports and being physically active. My parents saw that and encouraged me to do sports, so I have been involved in professional sports since I was 6 years old. I devoted 22 years of my life to sports.
What is your main professional goal? What will you do after you achieve it?
A goal is like a roadmap, it shows the way to reach the needed destination. Your journey can be full of twists and turns. A goal gives you something to strive for and stay motivated. It’s a milestone of where you’re trying to go and what you’re trying to achieve. When you finally reach these heights, the sense of accomplishment is unmatched. Without them, you might wander aimlessly, without any sense of purpose or direction. Every sports journey starts with a goal. My biggest goal is to win a gold Olympic medal in the sport of Greco Roman wrestling. After reaching my goal, I’ll continue my career as a sports trainer. I have plans to teach the young generation the secrets of this sport, to become the best sports coach. I am now pursuing those goals.
Does it happen that you lose faith in yourself? What do you do in such moments?
Sometimes people lose faith in themselves when they’re not seeing results for their efforts, or when the results are slow. We have to learn to take challenges as a part of life. Challenges help us grow, get stronger, and become wiser. Challenges test our faith in ourselves and in our dreams, goals and aspirations. The testing of our faith produces patience. I have a family and their presence, faith, and support always motivates me.
Have you ever received any awards or accolades while studying in school, a university or in your career?

Since my childhood, I decided to devote my life to the sport of Greco-Roman wrestling and showed great athletic abilities. I successfully participated in and won numerous major national and international martial arts tournaments.
