#NaomiOsaka #MentalHealth #Tennis
Asking someone to get over an issue with your mental health is like asking someone to run a race with a torn ACL.
@scumlife "Forcing people to get the vaccine is like Hitler and his brown shirts. Oh, and don't forget that space lasers cause wildfires! 🤪" - Marjorie Laser Beam, the face of the GQP, ladies and gentlemen! 😅😂🤣
@Dom Caffanae Can you RACIST KKK stop treating POC as slaves. Since you only care about THE BUSINESS, do you part
@@pascaleloiseaujoachim3216 what?!? Kkk? Really? Smdh
As a world, and as individuals we need to be more tolerant. None of us can meet everyone else's expectation. To be honest most of us have enough difficulty meeting our own expectations.
Say that again!👏🏾
She's not only smart, it seems she has trustworthy people advising her to do what's in her best interest.
there's a very famous and talented Australian swimmer, Susie O'Neill, also nicknamed 'Madame Butterfly' or 'Queen of the Pool' because of her near perfect form in both the freestyle and butterfly. Despite multiple Olympic Gold & Silver medals and a 200m WR, at the age of 48 she is still haunted by a single defeat ( 0.01 seconds ) towards the end of her astounding career. She still cannot speak about that one loss without bursting into tears. Such is the incredible and unrealistic expectations placed on these athletes. Give them a break, they are only human !!!
I have stopped watching tennis totally till she s back on court.
I mean stage fright not mental illness every player has . She is not mentally sick she simply does not like the press
The tennis world does not want controversy... that's not what they showed for Serena, eg. That girl, and her family, her dad, faced lots of racism, very ugly stuff, and it was deliberate, it showed hate, just because she is black. And on top of that she was supposed to shut up and keep it all together, as if she is passive to it all. And for the most part she did a fine job of keeping her cool.
Both Williams players were black as well and there have been many other black players in the community.
You're speaking nonsense
Its called being a grown up and some people grow up faster than others. Others in the tennis side doesnt support her is because they know its a grind and only 10% do make a living and she's almost kinda giving it up. But sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. Take care of yourself first and like Venus Williams said she doesnt care what anyone says because she knows they cant play as good as her. For sure Naomi will come out stronger after this.
It should be a choice if she wants to do interviews.
Mental health problems are issues that used to be taboo and no body wanted to talk about them but now we are leaving in a different era and we are forcing to face the problems. If you were facing the problems with your loved ones, shouldn’t you be responding with understanding and love and support?
Mental health is important at least for me. Whatever decision she took is upto her. But I will respect it.
Seven matches including the final match and Naomi has won 4 singles championships so far. Much basic research required!
I ignore MH in the news cuz I deal with it at home! In myself!
Naomi, you are great! I am so proud of you to take a stand for yourself. Girl, your mental status is everything in your success. It's OK to take a break to preserve it. As a former of psych worker, I witness a lot of things. Never stop taking care of you, whenever you don't feel right.👊👍
Mental anxiety has always been there. The difference is now we’re pushing diversity on the young people. We need to to be teaching how to handle adversity to our youth. Life is tough. No one promised you an easy road. Tough up an deal with it. We did, and we’re a stronger generation because of it.
VERY VERY VERY GOOD…
Naomi you are a great tennis player.
Have you never heard of Billie Jean King? She fought and fought. The William's girls from Compton Ca. Shout Out for the Hood. Fighting is all in or a spectator.
She signed up for tennis, not fighting.
This lady is a Champion you can only get for love of the game. She stated press questions were making her nervous she wanted to release statements. Instead they fined her 10k a day. That's why she left the French open she chose not to fight. No should mean no. Best of luck with your tennis🌈🎾 🙂
She has been suffering since that day she felt humiliated for winning her match against that privileged 'champion'.
How can someone be privileged if they are not white? I don’t understand your point.
@@nickmanning3913 wow, maybe you should look up the definition of Privilege first, then look at the situation and make your comment after.
@@nickmanning3913 Shame on you, pumpkin.
@@nickmanning3913 she is a member of the Liberal Elite.
@@nickmanning3913 Osaka cried while the crowd booed her for winning.
The issue is not mental health. She had a contract upon entering the tournament. She broke that contract and was fined then used MH as a scape goat. Its good MH is getting some exposure but there is more victimization nowadays. If I broke a contract with my employer for example I have to suffer the consequences. I am glad she had the means and endorsements to just say, "nah I will sit this one out." Before you say I do not understand MH think again.
If the contract isn't ethical it's not ethical. Pointing out something is wrong or not fair is the right thing to do.
One of the womens world racing champions spoke out against Nikes contract against maternity leave and now Nike has changed its policy.
If Osaka's actions get other companies to put more accommodations in place or provide better support for it's employees just like other types of jobs who knows how that might save somebody?
Many athletes turn to drugs. Many have mental break downs. Other jobs have built in accommodations required by law why not athletics?
If she had said I can't play because I am injured everyone should say fine she can't do it. But she says I can't do this interview because I am going to break emotionally and suddenly it's not a real issue? That's what is going on. People don't understand.
💚😎🤙
I understand that press conferences are important, but the major point imo is that in every other sport the athletes get a chance to clean up and take a breather before meeting with the press. Tennis is a very individual style sport and these athletes are made to endure the press without that few moments to calm down and relax. This is what needs to change.
Not totally true. At many events you can choose to go straight to press conference or go to the locker room and shower and refresh. She did the on court interview right after her win at the French and those are done right afterwards and are usually brief by one person, not the more chaotic, all these people in the room asking questions interviews. Most tennis pros pick to go straight to the press room when they lose, and take a break first when they win. And there are only so many press rooms so you may be told you have to wait and in those cases players go shower, change, etc as well.
As in more than two? I agree you do need help if you think there is more than 2
Any creature with mental disabilities MUST BE BANNED FROM ANY SPORT to prevent them from injuries or prevent others from being injured by the mentally ill.
Thank you for stigmatizing mental illness and making people with mental illness look dangerous!!
Naomi, I hope you read this, I stopped watching tennis until you are back in it. I'll wait, I love you and wish you the best.
how about issues on how the press treats celebrities? wouldn't that make an interesting report?
I have struggled with mental illness my entire life. That's not what's happening here. If an interview session causes too much anxiety, then the ESPYs is 100 times worse. She's a snowflake that wants the paycheck without the required work.
She is barely 23. For God's Sake. She became champion at 20. My daughter is 22. She's a child still.
What? 23-year-old is not a child. Some people can't deal in this life, doesn't matter how old they are
@@classyviper1one watch when she best Serena in New York. She was 20. It's a ton of pressure. She is a game changer. She will have a legacy like no other.
@@cindyshipley7533
Yeah, but to say that she is a child is just way off base. She's a grown woman who let the spotlight and her own conflictions get in the way of her success. Hopefully she learns from her failures and succeeds in the future
You are right. She is a very young adult, not a child. My youngest is 22. I couldn't imagine her dealing with so much so young.
Naomi is great for bring attention mental health. But I disagree with Ciri Champion, it would be unfair to the other players for the Majors to excuse Naomi from press conferences. Tennis rely on the top players to promote the game thru these press conferences. If other player are required to do the same thing, then she should be as well, because I sure most players hate the press conferences. She did the right thing by withdrawing. It would be wrong for her earn the same prize money as others who had endured the press conferences. Players before her grew the game thru these press conferences, it would be unfair for her reap the rewards of millions in prizes and endorsements without having to contribute as other tennis player had done before her.
I agree and disagree with you. The rules shouldn't change for her but they also shouldn't be changed because she decided to follow them either. The rules were that players were fined if 20grand if they didn't do pressers. And she was going to go by that rule, then they changed it. I totally get what she is saying. Imagine someones asking you something 5 times in one day, then imagine them asking you the same thing for 5 days, every conversation you had. It gets to you after a while. The press often focuses on the irrelevant I formation when they could and should focus on the match.
@@12Kyra121 I didn't think they changed any rule to go against her. They all just had a problem with her not attending the pressers. It is assume in the penalty to begin with. To me, it would not be fair because all previous champions promoted the game by attending these tedious pressers. The game has grown to the point that the prize money for the Majors are $2M+ in part because of these pressers. It would not be fair for anyone to give up 140 grand to win 2.5million and not do their part as previous champions to promote for future generations. I think she handled it right by withdrawing when she isn't prepare to mentally to handle ALL the pressure and responsibilities of competing in the tournaments.
@@dennylam269 If the rules there to be hurdles to the player, then it should be changed, that’s how we improve the process and procedures in life. Those press conferences are either boring or cringing, why doesn’t they change the format. Just because the things have been that way, we need to keep it so. Otherwise, we will still be treating patients with cocaine.
@@freedomlife3623 No argument there. Until they do change it, it should be the same for everyone. Personally I don’t care for the press conferences, I prefer the court side interview after a hard fought match. They don’t say much, but the emotion and expression on their faces say it all. To be fair to press conferences, I think it really for the reports. It gives the reporters a chance to interact with the players and hence help them be more insightful with their articles. More press in general, I guess?
@@12Kyra121 I agreed that there should be time limits, the moderator should bar questions that have been asked ad nauseam, and you should be able to not have someone be in your presser if they have been negative and demeaning in their questions from past encounters. i.e. (Johanna Konta 2019 Wimbledon when she was bullied by a journalist from her own country.) The rules didn't change. Many people have taken fines for not attending press, Venus Williams does so quite often. I always enjoy when the players clap back at idiotic press questions and during these, you are not technically required to give any certain answer. "I don't know, no comment, I don't feel comfortable answering that" all valid and respectable responses if need be.
No one knows the details of her personal life ..this issue has little to do with tennis.....in 3 short years ... grand slam wins/ . excessive Wealth /and celebrity/ first live in Boyfriend in life/ It's a life for very well informed and supported individuals with strong constitutions Osaka wasn't ready for it ....it's clear to see...... and the celebrity tennis star life is probably not for her ....she has more money than she needs so best to do something else she likes to do ...
Cry baby Wah Wah Wah ….
Meanwhile, Laura Ingraham is preparing her next show entitled "Shut up and Hit the Ball". Naomi has her priorities straight for sure. I hope she finds balance.
Laura Ingraham: "Shut up and hit the ball!"
Captain America: "No. I don't think I will."
Brent Waker,
I like your prospective about Naomi’s priorities and I am praying 🙏 for God to guide and protect her. As for Laura Ingraham, I pray 🙏 for God to remind her that there is only one life to live. She is blessed with intelligent to inform others but a lot of times she wastes her times in the wrong direction. What a waste?
One of the worst decisions ever made years ago was to think the dangerously mentally ill could be returned to the community and be drugged up all the time.
Has she read "I'm ok, You're ok." it might help her.
Oh, you're going way back.
@@brentwalker3300 Basics
Naomi loss, WTA won! She will play US Open. And she agreed to doing press conferences.
Taking “a mental health day” is not the same as suffering with a mental illness. Find people who know the difference, then have a discussion about it. 😡
Not taking mental health days lead to mental illness
@@TravaTraining In some cases that is true. In most cases, it’s genetic or trauma or something environmental (I am not a doctor). A mental health day is taking a day off to refocus or calm down. It is not the same as being hospitalized for three days or months against your will because someone else feels that your behavior is threatening or socially unacceptable. Being molested, drugged, locked in a room with seven locks on the door, and forced fed during a time of religious fasting is not a “mental health day”.
A mental health day is another word for I’m a diva and think I’m above the rules.
@@TravaTraining complete nonsense. You obviously have no idea about mental illness
Thank you!!!!!!!
she says she's shy and she's anxious and she hates being in the spotlight yet all she does is go on shows to promote herself.
You can be shy and anxious and still live your life. We have no idea how anxious she feels when she is in those programs
Many great entertainers are introverts and suffer from stage fright. Naomi is a pro tennis plays, and as such, has various lucrative contracts with big companies. She is obligated to make appearances as the face of these companies. She is not promoting herself. Anyone who has watched interviews of Naomi knows damned well that she is not gregarious or love being in the spotlight. She just loves tennis.
@@brentwalker3300 even Michael Jackson was a shy person, off the stage he was not a stage-like person, like he said, he was very shy but just became another person when on stage.
What about Joe Biden's mental decline 😳
Not a big deal considering your reality star makes him look like Einstein.
Whataboutisms...so original.
Millionaire…I feel so bad for her just kidding
There just people too sounds like your jealous
If you can’t run with the big dogs get off the porch!
How do you not understand that she can be a fantastic player and still have mental health issues?
You probably are the type who would tell people protesting the Vietnam or Iraq wars to "get out of the USA if you don't like it". Such simplistic binary thinking is a pathology.
She in not embarrassing herself. Please show some compassion
@@brentwalker3300 I am exactly the opposite. I protested the Vietnam war. I My daughter is half Vietnamese as I was married to one of the individuals who were the first to be evacuated from Vietnam. I would never say “ go back to your country “ as this is any immigrates home if they move here. I believe our immigrant population is important to this country. I totally disagreed with the orange idiots immigration policies. I am confused that anyone would text this to me. A diehard liberal democrat. I may have made a mistake and sent my text to the wrong person.
@@stephaniehummel5784 My comment was to the original one and not to yours.
She makes sooooooo much money even this year, there was no problem when she started playing tennis. Now when she is so rich she can create new rules because. she is so spoiled. I believe that every tennis player has this problem but quietly they use help. This is for them to overcome
She definitely feels the pressure now unlike when she first started. She folds quite easily under pressure and that's shown many times when she has flamed out and lost to someone ranked well below her. It can be quite a lonely sport I'm sure and she does seem very shy and the press are well aware of that and I've never witnessed a journalist take advantage or harp on that during her interviews. But I do hope she is seeing a sports Psychologists if she has not been already.
Don't care. I got my own problems.
You will learn. One day.
