NOVAK DJOKOVIC SPEAKS OUT ON MENTAL HEALTH IMPORTANCE AFTER RECENT STRUGGLES
In a candid interview, Novak Djokovic has opened up about his recent struggles with mental health, revealing that he has been facing “challenging times” both on and off the court. The Serbian tennis star, known for his incredible athleticism and mental toughness, has spoken out about the importance of prioritizing well-being and seeking help when needed.
I’ve always been someone who tries to handle things on my own, but I’ve come to realize that’s not always the best approach,” Djokovic said. “I’ve been working with a mental performance coach and it’s been incredibly helpful in managing my stress and anxiety.
Djokovic’s comments come after a tumultuous period in his career, marked by a series of unexpected losses and public controversies. However, he emphasized that his mental health struggles are not unique to him and encouraged others to speak out.
“I want to use my platform to raise awareness about mental health and reduce the stigma around it,” Djokovic said. “We need to support each other and prioritize our well-being, just like we would our physical health.
The tennis world has rallied around Djokovic, praising his courage and honesty. “Novak’s willingness to speak out will undoubtedly inspire others to do the same,” said ATP Tour chief, Andrea Gaudenzi.
Djokovic’s message serves as a powerful reminder that even the toughest athletes can struggle with mental health, and seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness.
