What are helpful conversations like for elite sportspeople? Here’s Andy Murray unpacking the limitations of “macho talk”:
“I’ve found it difficult to open up sometimes as you feel judged or that it’s seen as a sign of weakness. Sometimes, when we’re competing and working out, trying to be macho, it can get a bit testosterone-fuelled. I’ve ended up having some big arguments. I don’t feel like I’m competing with Amelie (his female coach). When we’re talking, it’s more of a collaboration.”
