Spanish tennis player, 22 times Grand Slam winner Rafael Nadal said every athlete should pay attention to their mental health.
The 36-year-old Spaniard announced on Thursday that he will miss Roland Garros and will not play for several months. Nadal also noted that he plans to retire in 2024.
I don’t claim to be a model. I do what I think is right. I don’t want to be an example of ending my career too soon.
There are mental problems, illnesses… To solve them, you have to work with professionals. Mental health must be trained.
If we are disappointed at the first change, we become more unhappy. There is a certain moment when a person has to stop, but before making this decision, you have to give yourself a lot of opportunities, — quotes the words of Nadal Marca.
Nadal will not take part in Roland Garros for the first time since 2004. The Spaniard holds the record for victories in the tournament (14). The French Open will take place from May 22 to June 11.
