Anabel Medina, Current Vice President of the Royal Spanish Tennis Federation (RFET) and national selection Sara Sorribes To stop his sports career due to mental health problems, though he hopes he is improving and can move on with him.
Sorribes, Olympic brass in Double in Paris and who spent many years under Medina’s commands on the Spanish team, announced on April 17 on social networks that she needed to stop, without knowing if temporarily or certainly, because she stopped enjoying a tennis track and her sensations suffered.
“I was surprised because Sara She has always been a girl who has shown a lot of love for tennis and shows that sometimes sport is very difficult and even if you have that desire there are moments where the mental level is very difficult to manage, “Medina said after the presentation of the Valencia tournament which she was director.
“I was surprised that he decided to stop because he always gave a hundred percent, always worked with joy and a smile on his face and he affected it that way showing that he was really going through a difficult time but I had hope that it would be a rest and not a goodbye, certainly because of his love.
Medina emphasized that tennis has a very demanding calendar and reflects: “Many times it is said that you have a decision to make that calendar, but it is not very easy, because if you stop, others will continue and pass you on the ranking and it seems like a very stressful ball is being built.”
“It is clear that the calendar is not the same as I have fifteen years ago, where you can practically compete each week and push you to no longer rest in a sport that has changed a lot towards physically and where the races are longer. You need to try to coordinate the demands of the year but also think a little about your long life, so it’s not easy.
The Valencian exhaustman explained his decision to leave last November his position as the Spanish team captain: “He has been in charge of these qualities for seven years and I think this is the good time to end since he has been in Spain for many years and is good to play with Spain.”
“I thought it was the best time to finish a cycle that was so beautiful and I didn’t think it would be long. I also thought it was the best for the team because eventually he needed fresh air, other voices, though that didn’t mean the players were, less against my continuation, but I felt like I had to give a little freshness to the position,” he said.
In her new RFET position, Medina made it clear that she came later. “I am not with you to leave the captain and pick up the vice president. He called me Miguel (Díaz) Just a month ago, he told me and I thought it was a way to continue to be linked to the Federation, which I knew was a lot inside because in these seven years I have shared many things. So I can continue with the task of helping female tennis with new projects and ideas. “He graduated. Eph
