is getting to grips with life outside (his earlier sporting life)
That's what I think the emphasis is on here - that the problems now to be faced (in the life outside) are intrinsically different from those facing him before of training, training, training...I suggest the turning point was probably four years ago, when he announced his retirement.

Manuela Junghans
: maybe: is slowly getting to grips... (because of how the sentence continues)

Horst Huber (X)
: It's the closest to the German. Is "getting" UK English --- here they would say "coming to grips"? And "with life" should be enough, without the explanation.
