A great story from Rafael Nadal on his uncle Toni Nadal’s ‘strict’ teaching style -
“One very hot day I went to a match without my bottle of water. I’d forgotten it back home. He could have gone and bought me one, but he *didn’t*. So that I’d learn to take responsibility, he said. Why didn’t I rebel? Because I enjoyed tennis, and enjoyed it all the more once I started winning, and because I was an obedient and docile child. My mother says I was too easy to manipulate. Maybe, but if I hadn’t loved playing the game, I wouldn’t have put up with my uncle. And I loved him too, as I stil do and always will. I trusted him, and so I knew deep down that he was doing what he thought was best for me.”
Was Toni right to not go and get another water bottle?

Giannis Antetokounmpo: It's not a failure, it's steps to success. Michael Jordan played 15 years, won 6 championships. The other 9 years were a failure? It's the wrong question, there's no failure in sports. There's good days and bad days.

Juan Carlos Ferrero on the switch from coaching Zverev to Carlos Alcaraz: “It was a big decision to take. It was the opposite of what I lived with Zverev. It wasn’t anymore a life of private jets & high-standard hotels… To build a project from the beginning was important to me”
Carlos Alcaraz: “At the end of my career, I want to be remembered as a good person, a normal, natural, happy person. Playing on instinct & joy are 2 tenants of my game. If I don't… my tennis is not the same. I think life is better that way. That's most important of all”
It’s time for the real holidays, I had the sensation i needed some solo time. Before enjoying that moment, I wrote you couple of lines about that crazy 2022 season.
See you soon !
