Junhui was asked if it was time for him to hang the pole, but his answer was: "I don't think the problem is to hang the pole, the key is how you look at it, I think I'm not playing well now, but I still love snooker, and I will keep working hard." As a professional athlete, Ding Junhui's career can be said to be smooth sailing, and he has also experienced troughs, but no matter what kind of difficulties he encounters, he can face them calmly, which also makes him win the respect and love of more and more people.
The career of professional athletes is much shorter than that of ordinary people, especially some sports that require a lot of physical strength and energy, many athletes often have only a few years at their peak, and once they are past their peak, many people's state will decline, and at this time, they will also begin to face a variety of choices.
For professional athletes, retirement is not an easy thing for them, especially some players who have been active in the field, once they have to face retirement, they may fall into all kinds of confusion, do not know how to plan their future life, at this time, they need to have a correct mentality, to correctly understand retirement.
In fact, retirement does not mean that they have to be completely separated from their past careers, on the contrary, they can continue their careers through various ways, they can choose to engage in some work related to the projects they are engaged in, or they can choose to do some sports-related public welfare undertakings, as long as they are willing to learn, willing to adapt, in fact, their life path can still go very exciting.
In addition to work, professional athletes have more time to spend with their family and friends after retirement, to do some things that interest them, at this time, they can cultivate their hobbies, try all kinds of new things, and also travel to experience a different life.
In the process, maybe they will find some new fun, and they will also meet some like-minded friends, which will make their lives more colorful, and will also bring more nourishment to their spiritual world, so that they can have more motivation and courage in the new journey of life.
Of course, even after retiring, many professional athletes are still full of inseparable love for the sports they are engaged in, and they can choose to continue to participate in the sports they love in various ways, they can choose to compete with ordinary people for casual competitions, or they can choose to train some potential junior players.
In this process, they can also do some training appropriately to maintain their physical fitness, but when participating in the competition, they should regard the competition as a kind of enjoyment, rather than a kind of pressure, they can communicate and learn with others, and can find their own fun from the competition, which can also make their mind more open and open-minded.
In addition to balancing life and competition, for some retired professional athletes, they also need to face a more realistic problem, that is, the source of economic income, once retired, they mean that they lose the various bonuses and rewards they have obtained on the field, at this time, their economic income may appear a certain gap.
However, now more and more brands and businesses are beginning to pay attention to the star effect, and they are willing to choose some well-known retired athletes to make endorsements, and at this time, some outstanding retired athletes can obtain their own income through advertising endorsements, and even sometimes, their advertising revenue will far exceed the bonuses they have obtained in their careers.
Ding Junhui is a very good example, although his performance in the game has declined, but with his style and popularity on the field, he has attracted the favor of more and more advertisers, and can be said to be a big winner in the advertising circle.
Of course, in addition to advertising endorsements, retired athletes can also make career changes in other ways, they can choose to tap and develop their other potential, they can choose to engage in some jobs related to their profession, such as coaches, commentators, etc., or they can choose to receive some professional training to develop their career fields.
In this way, they can also make a difference in various fields, and continue to inject a variety of possibilities into their lives, so that more people can see that they are not just good athletes, they can also perform in other fields.
The balance between life and career is a problem that everyone needs to face, whether it is an ordinary person or a professional athlete, everyone's life path will have all kinds of ups and downs and challenges, and Ding Junhui's experience may give us some inspiration, when we are facing difficulties, we can learn to face them calmly, we can appropriately adjust our mentality, and find various possible solutions.
At the same time, I also hope that more and more people can pay attention to the later stage of professional athletes' careers, and can give them more understanding and support, no matter what their achievements are, they can harvest all kinds of good things because of their efforts and perseverance, and they can also live a wonderful life in the second half of their lives.
