Coming back from his auto immune disease as strong as he did for as long as he did was a pretty major accomplishment. An asterisk statistic that he gets to claim as his own is that I believe he had the highest kill percentage in the 2021 Olympics as a substitute player (right at .400).

I.e. treatment for his disorder? Seems like a weird asterisk to put on that compliment. No one thought he willed his immune system into fixing itself lol obviously modern medicine played a part. |

Which it sounds like he finally is doing |

As if you’d give up on doing what you love just because you’re not top 20 in the world at it. You’re probably not top 20 in the world at anything |

He had a time where he was playing at the top of his game, the last few years it seemed forced and honestly seemed like he didn’t even enjoy it a lot of the times listening to him talk on sandcast. I’m happy for him that he’s seemingly made peace with it and being realistic about his future. It’s definitely tough to give up on your dreams but he has had a decent career |
