Naomi Osaka: wat ik niet deed om succesvol te worden

Tennis champion Naomi Osaka reflects on the importance of saying no and setting boundaries to protect her mental health and wellbeing. She credits her 2021 withdrawal from the French Open as a turning point that helped her recognize she doesn't need to meet others' expectations to succeed. Osaka emphasizes that declining obligations, though difficult, has been essential to her career and personal life, and becoming a mother strengthened her resolve to prioritize her own needs and those of her daughter over people-pleasing.
