At 41, Cristiano Ronaldo continues training his mind with the same discipline with which he trains his body. And he said it bluntly: “I never talk after 10 p.m., not even on the phone. After that time, don’t call me”.
It’s not a star’s whim. The forward, now at Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia and the all-time top scorer in football, explained that this hour is sacred because he likes to “give my brain a rest”. For him, being a professional footballer requires total dedication, even in the minutes when you decide not to talk to anyone.
The routine first became known in 2024, when Ronaldo was 39, and it was also linked to his agreement with Whoop, the device that monitors his sleep and habits. Today, two years later, the discipline remains intact. Perhaps that is the real key to why he continues competing at the highest level when others have already retired.
