What makes Djimon so special as a person are his social skills. It used to be different, he talked to almost no one but nowadays he talks to everyone. He is a real go-getter and tries to help everyone achieve their own success.
As an athlete Djimon is a real team player, he helps his teammates to be successful on and off the track. Creativity cannot be lacking either, he invents all kinds of exercises together with his coach to keep improving the workouts.
In America, he wants to grow and continue to develop. He wants to get faster in the sprint and the jumping events but his big goal is to score more than 6,000 points in the decathlon.
