Struggling Thunder Coach Unable to Manage Stress Levels

In a surprising turn of events, Jag Bal, the coach of Berlin Thunder, has taken a health-related break from football. The club announced last week that Bal was temporarily suspending his activities due to illness.

Bal, a leading figure in the European League of Football (ELF), announced his withdrawal from the future of the league as well. His departure comes amidst a challenging period for Bal, with constant disruptions significantly impacting his physical and mental health.

The working environment at both Berlin Thunder and Cologne, where Bal previously coached, was reportedly difficult for him. He wrote that he was under stress and fear that became unbearable. The past two years, both in Cologne and Berlin, were challenging for Bal from an organizational standpoint.

Jag Bal thanked everyone he had worked with at Berlin Thunder and signed off with a well-wishing message to take care. The club initially had no reaction to Bal's break, but later, Bal consulted with his doctors and decided to take the time he needs to focus on his health.

Meanwhile, Patrick Esume, the commissioner of the American Football League, has announced his intention to step down at the end of the season. Esume's reason for stepping down is "unbridgeable differences" with the league's business manager Zeljko Karajica. However, there are no publicly available updates or detailed reports regarding Jag Bal’s departure or the claimed unbridgeable differences with Esume.

As of now, it is unclear if Bal's departure from Berlin Thunder is permanent. Fans and well-wishers are eagerly awaiting official announcements from the club and the ELF for more information. In the meantime, they hope for a speedy recovery for Jag Bal and a successful season for Berlin Thunder.

Jag Bal's departure from the European League of Football (ELF) and Berlin Thunder is due to the impact of the challenging work environment on his physical and mental health. Bal, along with being a leading figure in sports, also expressed concerns about his mental health.
