The former world 200m silver medallist also picked up wise words from his mother, who always insists on humility and Bednarek noted that he always tells his mother to remind him if he gets too cocky.
"[My mum] always told me to stay humble. I've always told her to let me know, too like, 'Hey, mom, if I ever get too cocky, just let me know.' Because I don't want to change just because I get more fame, more money.
"That's the one thing that just stuck with me. If I ever get a little too cocky, she always reminds me, and I appreciate her for that,” Bednarek added.
