Cristiano Ronaldo opens up on strict rule he follows to avoid stress and remain laser-focused

Cristiano Ronaldo continues to thrive on the pitch even though he is approaching his 40th birthday. The Portuguese megastar has accomplished everything in his career, but is still finding ways to keep his motivation at the highest level.

The five-time Ballon d'Or winner opened up about what he does to stay away from stress and stay focused on his target.

"One important thing, I don’t speak after 10/11 o’clock. I don’t speak on the phone. I don’t like to speak in the night because of my brain. So, after 10 o’clock, don’t call me!" Cristiano Ronaldo said, via Goal.com.

His comment came after his collaboration with Whoop, a fitness tracker company, which, as Ronaldo said, helps him know his body 'inside and out.'
