Dr. Hassan Moustafa,

President of International Handball Federation

Narcisa Lecușanu stands for personal development and success through sport, of which the practice of sport is life changing. With dedication and passionate engagement, the ritualistic actions of the athlete evolve, as they move through the levels from novice to expert, and as handball permeates their very essence, it results in a life’s work. For decades, I have witnessed the talent of Narcisa Lecușanu on the handball court, and a commitment to the sport that supported the drive and deter­mination through her service to handball in Romania, the enthusiasm brought to the Women’s Handball Board within the European Handball Federation, and most recently to the Executive Committee of the International Handball Federation. To experience the transformation of Narcisa Lecușanu through her eyes is an opportunity for those wanting to stoke the fires of ambition, because her story is not over; as we read this book to absorb where Narcisa has come from, we can clearly imagine where she will go in the future.”

Michael Wiederer, President of European Handball Federation

Narcisa Lecușanu, the leader of Romanian handball, is outstanding through her na­tive qualities and through a continuous tenacity throughout the long and difficult perfor­mance sport journey. [...] Until my departure from the Romanian Handball Federation, I continued my collaboration with Narcisa and supported her, seeing in her the future presi­dent of the Romanian Handball Federation.

Honorary President of RHF

Narcisa Lecușanu’s personality is, equally, difficult and pleasant to analyze, first of all because she was and remained a star in a world of sports in which success and failure guide the opinions of those spe­cialized and of the public.
