Tiki Barber, Football, Retirement and Depression | World of Psychology

As a reminder that depression strikes anyone, at any time, for any reason or no reason whatsoever, I give you Tiki Barber.

For those of you unfamiliar with Mr. Barber, he was a professional (American) football player who decided to retire four years ago at age 32. A good time to retire as a football player, as your body starts to show its age against the physicality of the game. He took jobs as a sports commentator at NBC, both in their sports division and for “The Today Show.”

But Mr. Barber’s depression appears to be directly related to a number of events that occurred in his life after his retirement. And now he says he wants to get back into the game, at age 36.

He also claims that his marriage was already on the rocks when he started having the affair, and they had already decided to get separated at the time his ex-wife became pregnant with the twins.

He’s still with his girlfriend, the ex-NBC intern Tracy Lynn Johnson. And now he wants back into the game.

Men are more likely to suffer depression after retirement because a great deal of their self-worth and self-image is directly tied into their work or career. Some men never fully retire, instead choosing to continue working as a consultant or even in lesser positions, because they often just don’t know what to do with themselves with so much free time on their hands.

When the way you define yourself is taken away, what’s left? For men like Tiki Barber, the answer appears to be something akin to, “Not a lot.” The symptoms he describes — feeling unmotivated, lethargy, having no energy, losing your self-confidence — are all symptoms that can accompany depression.

And while it’s possible to reclaim your self-esteem by returning to work, trying to do so as the same professional athlete that you once were seems to be potentially setting oneself up for inevitable failure. What are the chances you will be even just as successful as you once were, when the sport is so physical, and requires stamina that leaves us as we age?

In my book, not high. There seems to be a higher chance of Mr. Barber facing even more depression in his future. Imagine the feelings one might experience from being rejected — no team being interested enough in you to even give you a chance — or succeeding in getting a job only to not perform well, and to be cut again? Barber left at the top of his game. Four years later, could he actually expect to be the same player capable of the same performance?
