Hasek says age is just a number
The 60-year-old Hasek says age is just a number.
In an interview back in 2023, describing age to be relative, he said he doesn't worry about his growing years, explaining that he usually plays sports with young players.
He further added that he is properly and bitten to win. According to him, when he started in the league at the age of just 18, he weighed 52 kilos.
He was fighting to play again at Sparta. He said his body has worn down over the years, but he is glad that he can still do the sports.
He is also a lawyer
Hasek is also a lawyer. Both of his parents were lawyers, so they led him to it as well. According to him the first place for him was always football.
He wished to do it at the highest level possible. He managed to study law in the 1980s while he was playing for Sparta.
For him, learning was not the easiest many times and he put the material out of his head immediately after the exam.
He said his dad kept telling him to do school and he would find what he needed in practice in books.
But if he weren't a footballer, he would probably go into law.
