Rafael Nadal is an example of persistence and passion for tennis.
The Spanish tennis player achieved many successes and remained recorded in the history of this sport as one of the greatest.
During his career, the Spaniard encountered many problems, mostly injuries, and year after year he struggled with Mueller-Weiss syndrome, a degenerative foot condition that causes daily pain in the navicular bone.
Rafael Nadal did not allow this syndrome to spoil his plans and goals, and tried to deal with it month after month.
The Spanish tennis player had to protect his body and could not focus on other sports like other tennis players.
However, he always had a love for other sports, and skiing seems to have been one of his favorite sports.
During his tennis career, as already mentioned, he could not practice this sport, but after retiring, he decided to spend his free time on the ski slopes.
Rafael Nadal's post
Rafael Nadal recently shared a photo and a post saying he was finally skiing again, for the first time in 26 years.
Lindsey Vonn, one of the greatest female skiers of all time, commented on his post saying they must ski together when she is healthy.
It seems that the experienced Spaniard will pay equal attention to skiing in the coming months and enjoy spending his free time in that way. Considering that there are no more strenuous trainings and trips, Rafael has much more free time for himself, which he tries to use productively. It seems that sports are still his greatest passion.
As someone who has been in the world of sports for years and as one of the greatest athletes ever, Rafael still has the same passion for the sport as he did on the first day of his career.
Skiing, however, brings him much more freedom, since Rafa will not have any pressure and can simply enjoy the magic of skiing.
