How is Mardy Fish’s life after he retires from professional tennis?
Mardy Fish is an athlete who is equally great in golf as compared to his tennis skills. This former ATP star received a huge appreciation for bringing his mental health struggles to the forefront. After his retirement, Fish remained an active advocate for athlete’s mental health awareness. Mardy Fish offered help to Naomi Osaka when she wished to withdraw from Rolland Garros in 2021 due to anxiety. Fish said- “ It’s okay to be vulnerable. It’s okay to show you are human. It’s okay not to feel okay.”
This former tennis star also revealed his challenges with stress and mental health. He further added- “It will never be fully behind me; I will always have that part of my life, and a greater sense of appreciation for mental health. I knew nothing about it beforehand, which is one reason I became vocal about it. I still get calls from people on a monthly basis— people you’ve heard of and people you haven’t; college players, pros. It makes me feel like I am helping. My anxieties were from my job, but it doesn’t matter what job it is—a teacher, a doctor, a pro athlete—if you get too far down the road, it will catch up with you.”
