[QUOTE="Vieux Talonneur, post: 1040472, member: 73144"] This has provoked a lot of reaction, both ways. My take is the media stuff is just part of the job like living out of a suitcase, training, playing and fulfilling sponsor commitments. All jobs have elements you don’t like or find difficult but just have to do. Daft thing is that if they abolished post match interviews no-one would be any worse off. They’re tedious, predictable and never insightful - I seldom watch them. But they’re part of the contractual landscape and if you don’t like the deal, don’t sign up to it. Presumably top players are media trained to side step questions which are inappropriate or they don’t want to answer. I’m not downplaying the mental health side of it at all. But very high rewards come with significant pressures....in any profession. Does she find the whole lifestyle stressful with the media work being the worst part? [/QUOTE]
