- Ronnie O'Sullivan and Mark Selby, along with Alan Mcmanus, discuss the issues with mental health battles as a snooker player. A thoroughly engaging conversation, suggesting a mental health doctor to be at all events, so players have the option for help if required.
Its great to hear Ronnie and Mark share struggles of life together. I think theyd be good friends. Praying for them both. Both amazing players and so needed in the game
I've told this story on here before, I had an unhappy childhood as my Mam died in front of me when I was 5. Then I discovered snooker and put my life into watching it then playing it. when I was 13 I made a 113 break. From being just another kid in the snooker hall, I was the centre f attention. Gradually my game deteriorated because of the pressure until I gave up totally and I've never played again in 40 years. In my 20's I was diagnosed with BPD after going completely off the rails and although they blamed it on my Mam dying at such a young age, I always felt it was that 113 break.
I still enjoy watching the game though.
My observations of these two in particular, if they approached the game as if it were just a exhibition match as they said it might make a difference to whether they feel the pressure or not on the day.
Great interview and openness! 👏
If you earn money, then it's a job. Jobs come with highs and lows. A bad day at Starbucks or on the baize... They're the same, but one has a small circle of criticism, and the other is endlessly debated on the TV....
Must be nice to have a job where you do something you love, make absolute fortunes and can pick and choose when you put a shift in. All those men who worked down the pits decades ago would have killed for any one of those three, but they just got on with it because they had families to feed and bills to pay.
The worst thing about doing something you love for work, is when you inevitably start to lose love for it, but can't do anything else.
@@1nfiniteSeek3r Yep, that is a fair point.
It must be difficult to be brilliant at a job that came out of someone else's imagination as Snooker obviously did. If you're a farmer, what you produce is a necessity that is needed by almost everyone. Snooker is a totally made up game. A totally fantastic game and probably the hardest game ever to be good at, let alone brilliant like Mark and Ronnie. The guy in the middle was bloody amazing too! There's no basis to it though. It's not necessary for life on this planet to continue. That might have something to do with it. Maybe.
Good point - Massive rewards doing a job humanity doesn’t actually need . - a guilt complex reaction.
Must be a tough life making millions doing something you love eh
Depression is awful no matter how much you earn...
Cheers. Your covetousness has been noted!
Money does make life much easier without a doubt, but it doesn't ALWAYS bring happiness!! Depression is REAL. It isn't a nice feeling to have at all! Look at the world we currently live in, extremely worrying times for everyone at the moment! I really worry about the next generation growing up and what the future really holds for them! We live in hope. 🙏🙏🙏
People with no money makes everything about money but money
@AsheshBardewa the richer gets richer, and the poor get poorer!!!!👍👍👍
