In the tough world of pro tennis, mind health is key, just like body shape. US tennis star Taylor Fritz made a big choice to help his mind state. He chose to quit the well-liked game, FIFA.
Fritz, known for his strong serve & tough mind, said that his love for FIFA had hit his mind’s health hard. Like a lot of sport pros, Fritz first took up games to take it easy & break free from his sport’s tough asks. But the need to win in FIFA, more so when he played with others on the net, started to hurt him.
Quitting was not a simple choice. Fritz liked the game & the chats with pals he played with. But, he saw that the stress from playing FIFA was hurting his work life. Bad game scores made him mad & lose focus. This hit how he played tennis.
Fritz saw the need to change. He chose to step back from FIFA. This choice is part of a big plan. It helps him keep his mind & body at top form. With his tale, Fritz wants to show that mind health is key for sports folk. He hopes to urge ones like him to do the same if they face such hard spots.
Fritz’s open talk on his hard times & the steps he takes to fix them show that mind health is key to all good health. His choice to stop FIFA shows how small changes can boost one’s mind health. As he still plays top-level tennis, Fritz’s tale may push more to take steps to look after their mind health.
