It’s the moment every professional ‘sportsman’ dreads, and planning for it in advance – whilst greatly recommended – can be particularly difficult, particularly where the individual has distinguished himself on the field.
England’s World Cup winning hero Jonny Wilkinson has spoken in depth about his struggles to come to terms with retirement. The iconic fly half called it quits in the summer of 2014 after a 17-year playing career where he won it all with Newcastle, England and Toulon. In a candid interview, recorded a year later, he revealed that he was still training intensely to ‘burn off frustration.’
‘Training for big games every weekend, playing in front of thousands of people — it makes you feel important. And when that goes, everything goes,’ he told a major UK tabloid newspaper; ‘I’m addicted to the training — I still feel if you took it away from me, I would struggle, because it’s what allows me to burn off my frustration.’ Wilkinson went onto reveal that he still practiced his kicking for several hours every week – and even more so whilst fulfilling his part-time coaching role with Toulon.
