Quote by Boris Becker

That's the hard part about sport: as men we haven't started to be in our prime, but as athletes we are old people. I needed support. I lost trust and did stupid things.

That's the hard part about sport: as men we haven't started

Summary

This quote highlights the conflicting nature of being an athlete. While still in their physical prime, athletes often struggle to mature emotionally and mentally at the same pace. They require support from others, as navigating the challenges of sports can lead to a loss of trust and poor decision-making. It suggests that despite their physical prowess, athletes may face internal obstacles that make success in their sport more difficult to achieve.
