We need fi wheel and come again all the way from early childhood education.
We also need to remove a lot of the stigma around doing over subjects (and going to school) as an adult. A bad high school outcome should mean delayed, not denied.
Naomi Osaka was asked if she’s encouraged after her loss to Sabalenka or if she’s daunted at the task of closing the gap between them, ‘I can’t let myself be discouraged every time I lose or win against someone. Because honestly, hitting a ball doesn’t really matter, like, on Earth’
“I wondered when you come off a match like this… she played an unbelievable level. How encouraged are you or how sort of daunted are you at sort of closing that gap? Presumably that’s where you want to be again… number 1.”
Naomi: “You know, I kind of realized like… I don’t know if you knew me before, but I would be very very disappointed in myself after matches like these. But I kinda realized it doesn’t matter at all. I’ve played her multiple times and sadly to say lost multiple times. The only thing I can keep doing is trying l my best. Maybe hopefully it’ll work out in my favor one day. But I can’t let myself be discouraged every time I lose to someone or win against someone. Because honestly, hitting a ball doesn’t really matter, like, on Earth, kind of.”
