Gianluigi Buffon is one of the most prominent soccer players and a key goalkeeper of the Italian National team of the last two decades. Born in in Tuscany, Italy, he grew up in a family of sportspeople: his parents were athletes and PE teachers, and his uncle was a professional basketball player.
Two sisters of Gigi also became sportspeople and play volleyball. Gigi himself has been in love with soccer since his childhood and he started his professional career in the mids in Parma where he played for 6 years and then continued in Juventus where he became famous and played over matches, won 9 National Championship titles, became the goalkeeper of the year 12 times and the first goalkeeper in the history who has managed to win the title of the Soccer Player of the Year.
As the captain, he appeared in 80 matches and still holds the national record. I joined at 13 and stayed for 10 years," Buffon says. They helped me become what I am, and now maybe it's my turn to help them go back to being great. Like they have been before, and like how they deserve to be. But I want to be clear. I didn't choose Serie B: I chose Parma. To him, the only thing that is different is that the climb back up the ladder begins in Serie B, rather than near the bottom of Serie A.
But he knows where he wants to take them. And then, unexpectedly, he pulls out a stat. When you talk about Parma, you're talking about the fourth-most successful Italian club in Europe, in terms of trophies. Overall, we're 16th. We need to respect and honour that history. As for when he may call it quits, there's no "use by" date on his sleeve. Few athletes, in any sport, are as introspective and as open as Buffon.
A few years ago, he detailed his bouts with depression in his early 20s, how they rocked his belief that "if you have money and success you can't be unhappy" and how he developed the tools to deal with his mental health issues. In a sporting world that is often macho and testosterone-laden, it's a refreshing voice and a reminder, that even this Superman had his kryptonite, a challenge he acknowledged, faced and conquered.
