Rafael Nadal says he's content in retirement, but admits the adrenaline from sport is impossible to replace
Transcript
00:00I didn't catch a racket yet after my retirement, so it's eight months without being on a tennis court.
00:07But I will. I will be back at some point.
00:10Because at some point it will be funny for me to prepare myself to play an exhibition or something like this.
00:16But I am discovering what really motivates me for this new life.
00:22So it's not easy in terms of choosing your next goal.
00:28But for me it's so important to have goals in this life because a life without objectives is more difficult from my point of view.
00:39I don't miss much tennis because I felt that I gave all what I had.
00:44I arrived at the day of today with the peace that I can't be on court.
00:55You know, my body don't allow me to be on court.
00:58So that's all. I am in peace.
01:01I did all what I could to have the best career possible.
01:06And now I am enjoying this new phase of my life that I am sure is going to be less exciting than the tennis career.
01:16Because the adrenaline that the sports gives to you, I think it's impossible to find in other things in life.
01:24But that don't mean that I'm going to be less happy.
01:28I can be happier with less adrenaline and taking care of different things.
01:33I don't know.
01:34I'm going to be a good luck.
01:37So here's myí•´.
01:39I'm going to wait.
01:48You can watch the mid- glamour.
