Do you take a special diet or have a strict menu that you follow to remain healthy and physically fit?
Tijana Korent:
I do have some restrictions, I tend not to eat very late at night, and I try to cut on carbs sometimes. I am a big fan of sweets, so I have to make some compromises. But I think that balance in food intake is the key to good health and fitness.

You have glowing skin and gorgeous hair. Share with us your hair care and skincare routine.
Tijana Korent:
Well I can thank my mom’s genes for my good skin. But also, I don´t use too much of skin products. Just a day crème from Neutrogena which became my ultimate favorite last few years and hydrates my skin perfectly, I also have a nigh cream and I use a micellar water to clean off my makeup.
And my hair routine is a bit more complex, because my hair gets damaged being in a bun all the time during my trainings and competitions. I use hair oils before I do wash my hair, and put hair masks during the hair washing routine, and always use detangling spray and heat protection spray before I blow dry my hair.
Namita Nayyar:
You must have a Coach who has been a catalyst who helped you pave the way to rise in your career with discipline and a never stopping attitude. Elaborate about his/her influence on your professional life?
Tijana Korent:
Yes, that is most definitely true. I in fact had few coaches throughout my career, and each one of them left their unique mark on me, which helped me get to where I am today. They thought me to persistent, to never give up and most of all to love what I do, because that is the key to giving your best at all times.
