Some agree that athletes are being over-tracked. Others argue that top sports live thanks to the media, thanks to public attention. But in either direction, we should return to the main point of "privacy". Swiatek itself and professional athletes both understand and accept that when participating in any game, cameras will monitor them from the field, to the press conference room, or obligatory activities.
But privacy cannot be deprived just because they are famous. It must be placed in the right place, an important position. Anyone, whether Grand Slam champion, young player or ordinary person, has the right to space that is not recorded, not judged. In developed sports backgrounds, athletes are taught very early how to manage personal life. Not to create distance with the public, but to protect their long-term career.
From the demands of international athletes looking at Vietnam, this story appears in a different way. Every time a team or an individual is successful, or an incident occurs, personal life is almost fully open. The bustling welcome, victory celebrations, and very ordinary moments are widely shared.
The problem is that, many times, it is not outside invasion, but the initiative from the people involved and those around them. From a psychological perspective, it is understandable. When emotions rise, joy is real, pride is real, ease, and the desire to share is also real.
But when everything is put online, they unintentionally give away the control of personal image. And when the public is accustomed to seeing everything, demanding elements will appear, even when the subject no longer wants to share. When the person involved does not set limits, it will be very difficult to ask society or the media to restrain themselves.
Privacy does not lie in right or wrong, but in moderation. Therefore, not every moment should be public, there are joys that are just enough for the subject. Because remember that today's praise, tomorrow may be scrutiny and a different attitude...
