German National Goal Keeper Dead
The German national goal keeper Enke has commited suicide, yesterday. Today his wife taught the publicity that he had suffered from depressions a lot, was afraid of failure. He was afraid to lose his job and his adopted daughter if this would have been known by other people; therefore he did not tell anything and tried to act normal. Enke also suffered from a lot of physical injuries which made it impossible to play in a lot of important matches.
Nobody - not even his psychologist - has recognized that he wanted to kill himself, they say he was able to hide it from them. A sports reporter of the TV described him as a very intelligent person, yesterday, who also cared about theatre, books and thought a lot about different subjects.
Some weeks ago another professional soccer player, Sebastian Deisler, has published a book about his past. He talked about it on TV and also mentioned a lot of psychological pressure and mental problems. If I remember it right, Deisler also had a lot of physical problems, so this seems to belong to each other. Moreover, it has to be very stressful to be a professional soccer player.
