Sandra’s life story far exceeds the boundaries of sport and spreads capillary into all pores of life. Sport helped shape her, but I believe that even without it, in everything she did, she would basically be the same “lioness” who considers life a persistent and uncompromising fight to achieve her goals.

In 2011, Žutelija and Sandra Paović completed the second book about this exceptional athlete. The promotion of the book “I Love Life” is actually an extension of the first, and the reason is Sandra’s completely new life cycle. She loves to speak to young people, children, and young athletes the most. They say that Sandra is our heroine, she had the strength to come back after such an accident, she is an example for all people in the world, not only in Croatia. And as she said: “I love life. I believe that life is worth fighting for with the last atoms of strength. Even when they consider you lost or written off. You should strive to be the best.
