An old journal entry from Andy Murray’s teenage years has gone viral after being shared by a former coach — and it’s not about tennis. The handwritten note, dated back to his school days, reveals a much more emotional and philosophical side of the young athlete.
In the entry, Murray reflects on “power, love, and girls,” musing on how fame might one day affect his relationships. “I want to be strong and respected, but I hope I don’t lose the people I care about along the way,” one line reads.
Fans were quick to praise the vulnerability and maturity of the note. “It’s like a glimpse into the soul of someone we thought we only knew through sport,” one commenter said.
The entry also hints at Murray’s early awareness of how public life could challenge personal values. “They’ll judge who I’m with, what I wear, how I talk. I just want to be true to myself.”
This intimate look at a future champion reminds us that long before he lifted trophies, Andy was just a kid trying to understand the world — and himself. The rediscovered words offer not only nostalgia but a powerful reminder that every icon once started out as a dreamer with doubts.
