Adams believes that the public concern for Woods is a necessary step, even if the athlete isn’t ready to face it yet. Reflecting on his own journey at Highbury, Adams recalled how he initially brushed off the interventions of his Arsenal team-mates. “People are starting to say, \u2018Look, you\u2019ve got a problem here\u2019,” Adams explained while discussing the importance of breaking the cycle of denial.<\/p>\n
“What I did, I kind of avoided everyone that told me, you know what I mean? Like the Lee Dixons of the world were kind of going, \u2018Tone, what the f*** are you doing?\u2019 And I was like, \u2018You\u2019re a bit weird. Martin Keown\u2019s a bit strange\u2019. You kind of ignore people or get rid of them, because you don\u2019t want to have a look at yourself. So he doesn\u2019t really want a look… and we can\u2019t enable them,” Adams added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Adams believes that the public concern for Woods is a necessary step, even if the athlete isn’t ready…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":602219,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[566],"tags":[3361,64,63,755,1614,85,18177],"class_list":{"0":"post-602218","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-golf","8":"tag-arsenal","9":"tag-au","10":"tag-australia","11":"tag-golf","12":"tag-premier-league","13":"tag-sports","14":"tag-t-adams"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/602218","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=602218"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/602218\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/602219"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=602218"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=602218"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=602218"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
