🗣️ Thierry Henry's speech on the mental health of high-level athletes, and the need for support from a very young age: "We all have problems, which we have difficulty digesting and which we try to hide. The brain has enormous power over human beings, it is what controls us. At all levels, whether in sport or in everyday life, it's no longer taboo to say 'I'm afraid' or 'I'm not feeling well, I shouldn't play' (in the example of football ). In my time, when people said 'I'm afraid', it didn't go down very well. If you show vulnerability, if someone doesn't show you empathy in front of you, you close yourself off. You are ashamed. When we cry, we often say 'excuse me', even though it is an emotion. It shouldn't be a shame. This should be better managed, whether for young people or for high-level athletes who are ending their careers. When you end your career, it's the competitor who dies. It's a small death. And we don't teach you how to die. And many athletes have suffered from depression after their careers. Having this support early enough is necessary. When you train someone to be a 'killer', you don't teach them failure. When you face failure and you aren't far from the Grail, it's even more difficult to accept it. When we saw these images on the bridge (of Beka Beka), it made us all think about our own problems... ."
