“Sabatini’s Smile: The Tennis Star’s Heartfelt Moments and Charitable Work”
This year marks the 50th birthday of Gabriela Sabatini, one of the most well-known female athletes of the 20th century. The Argentinean despised publicity but adored tennis. A discussion on the art of aging well and self-determination in professional sports.
One reason I feel like I’m still youthful is because of the way I live. I try to start my days with exercise; I enjoy swimming, jogging, and cycling because they all help me to ground and cleanse. In addition, I travel a lot and engage in other forms of active living. I can maintain my mental youth by doing this.
Indeed. You develop the ability to set boundaries and make self-interested decisions over time. I meet people I truly want to be around and am more picky about who I interact with. This self-determination adds a new dimension to life and makes it incredibly meaningful. You were one of the kids that could play tennis so well that you reached the top in record time. When you were fifteen years old, you were in the French Open semifinals, and at fourteen, you were the top junior player in the world. Have you ever had the impression that someone else defined or lost your youth?
