Seven-time Mr. Olympia Arnold Schwarzenegger has had many ventures in his professional life. After creating a legacy as a professional bodybuilder, his entry into the realms of the entertainment sector as well as politics both proved to be successful too. But what many of us don’t know yet is the love that Schwarzenegger has for the game of soccer. Back in Austria, Arnold enjoyed playing soccer with his friends.

This age-old love that Schwarzenegger had for the game is still imbibed in the Austrian. Schwarzenegger shares details of his life with his fans in his daily newsletter, Arnold’s Pump Club. In the recent edition of the newsletter, he talks about the lessons he took from the final showdown of the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023.

After a tough battle at Stadium Australia in Sydney, Spain’s team lifted its first-ever World Cup Trophy against England. Olga Carmona of Spain scored the game’s first and only goal in the 29th minute, sealing the victory. In his newsletter, Arnold’s Pump Club, Schwarzenegger admitted that he enjoyed the game this weekend. He also revealed the actual inspiration that he felt after witnessing the match. “What inspired me came after the whistle, when Spain celebrated their first Women’s World Cup victory,” wrote Arnold.

Continuing further, Schwarzenegger stated, “I saw a Spanish player step away from the celebration to hug one of the English players who was crying on the field. And then, as the camera panned, you saw more and more players from both teams embracing each other.” Adding to this, Arnold wrote, “All of us at home witnessed one of the best parts of sports.”

These moments in the world of sports are what make the game beautiful. The incident made Schwarzenegger think about his time as a bodybuilder. He further talked about the camaraderie he shared with many other legendary bodybuilders in the ‘Mecca of Bodybuilding.’

Arnold and his relationship with fellow bodybuilders

Schwarzenegger revealed that he is often asked about the bond that he had with his competitors. People often cannot digest and understand what went on behind the stage. Even though Arnold and the likes of Lou Ferrigno, Frank Zane, and others had to compete against each other at the end of the year, they used to train together at the Gold’s Gym in Venice. In his documentary, Arnold even revealed that the group even used to eat and hang out together most of the time.

“As I watched this inspirational demonstration of sportsmanship, I thought about how often people ask me how all of us bodybuilders could train and practice posing together at Gold’s Gym all year when we’d have to face each other on stage.” As a response to this, Schwarzenegger disclosed that while not everyone can be a champion, everyone can win if they work on themselves and learn to inspire others.
