Boris Becker<\/a> to Serena Williams, even Michael Jordan. Talking to greats that I\u2019ve met along the way, who are retired – or some that are still in competition – and the fear of what\u2019s next, the lack of preparation for what\u2019s next.<\/p>\n“A lot of them said: \u2018I stopped too early.\u2019 Or: \u2018Stayed too long.\u2019 \u2018When it ended, I didn\u2019t have anything planned.\u2019 \u2018My whole world came crashing down because my whole life has been about that sport’.<\/p>\n
“Some of them were like: \u2018I didn\u2019t plan and it was a bit of a mess-up because I was really lost afterwards. There was such a hole. Such a void. And I had no idea how I was going to fill it. And I was in such a rush initially to try and fill it that you fill it with the wrong thing … <\/p>\n
\n“But it just got my mind thinking about: ‘Okay, when I stop, how do I avoid that?’ And so I got serious about finding other things that I was passionate about.”<\/p>\n
\nHe added: “I went through this phase of understanding that I can\u2019t race forever … Because when I stop, I\u2019m gonna drop the mic and be happy.”<\/p>\n
\nLewis went on to reveal he has many passions he wants to pursue, but he needs to narrow it down so he’s decided to focus on film and fashion – and wants to set up a luxury brand company to rival LVMH which boasts names including Tiffany Co., Christian Dior and Givenchy.<\/p>\n
\nHe explained: “The difficult thing is I want to do everything. I\u2019m very ambitious. But I understand that you can\u2019t do\u2014actually, I take that back because I don\u2019t believe in the word can\u2019t. <\/p>\n
\n“To be a master at something, there\u2019s the 10,000 hours it takes. Obviously, I\u2019ve done that in racing. There\u2019s not enough time to master all of these different things … <\/p>\n
\n“I think it\u2019s gonna be film and fashion … Honestly, one of my dreams is I have thought about creating my own diverse LVMH. Like, I don\u2019t know if we live in a time where that\u2019s really possible. But that\u2019s something that I\u2019m conceptualising.”<\/p>\n
\nLewis has previously ventured into both music and movies – founding his own production company called Dawn Apollo Films – and he’s also collaborated with American fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger.<\/p>\n
