The Hidden Reason Even Champion Athletes Suffer Depression - You Won't Believe it!#OpusClip

The video effectively captures the audience's attention with the relatable concept of discomfort with decisions not aligned with one's true cause. It maintains coherence throughout the discussion and delivers valuable and personal insights into the motivations and sacrifices of high achievers.
