Performance analysis of tennis player Roger Federer: A review of the Wimbledon 2019 final between Novak Djokovic and Federer. I analyzed the stats for the first set, which revealed many things. #performanceanalysis #Wimbeldon2019 #NovakvsFederer #rogerfederer

Roger Federer made tennis a joy to watch. Many people mistake something easy on the eye for effortless. Another example is the Indian cricket captain, who seems to have 'so much time' to play a shot. Roger rejects the effortless theory here and says he put in a lot of effort to make it look effortless. Angela Duckworth, the author of the book GRIT, states, Talent x effort = Skill Skill x effort = Achievement There is no shortcut to success and talent without the elbow grease does not give you the results you want. #lifecoachinghappiness #LifeCoachingForWomen #lifecoachingformen #mentalhealthsupport #wales #lifecoachingtips #sportscoaching #HighPerformance #highperformancecoach #highperformancehabits https://lnkd.in/eJT_Qx83

Tennis, much like life, teaches valuable lessons. For instance, Roger Federer's Dartmouth Commencement speech highlighted the importance of passion, persistence, and triumph. These principles are not only crucial on the court but also in personal and professional growth. Embracing these lessons can foster resilience and a positive mindset, essential for overcoming challenges in any field.

Tips from the legend. Let’s goo🎾🎾👏🏽👏🏽

Tennis legend, Roger Federer, made these points in his commencement address to the class of 2024 at Ivy League University, Dartmouth College, this week. They are life lessons pertinent to all of us. 🎾 'Effortless' is a myth. "Talent means discipline, patience, self-trust, love for the process, and being able to manage your life - all those attributes count as talent. Some people are born with them. Everybody has to work at them" 🎾 Although Federer won almost 80% of all matches he played during his tennis career, he won only 54% of the points in his 1526 single matches. In other words, "even top-ranked tennis players win barely more than half of the points they play." "Playing the point had to be the most important thing in the world but then you have to move on to the next point with clarity and focus and put the previous point behind you". What was important was "adapting and growing, working harder and smarter and realising self-doubt is negative energy and a master is someone who is able to move on". 🎾"Life is bigger than the court" "I knew that tennis could show me the world... but tennis could never be the world. When one is given an opportunity, one has a duty to give and make a difference" #federer #lifelessons #growthmindset #tennis #sportbusiness #strathmore #purposedriven

On June 9, 2024 Roger Federer gave the final commencement speech at Darmouth College with interesting statistics. He shows that he is still champion because he knows that nothing is effortless. He is reinventig himself out of the court because life goes on beyond tennis, beyond what we did yesterday and beyond what we are doing today. Roger says that tennis is not a sport based primarily on having a gift or talent and being fit. What is it about?

🎬 This video went viral: Roger Federer giving a graduation ceremony speech at a US university.   🔔 Two key takeaways:   1️⃣ “Of the 1,526 singles matches I played in my career, I won nearly 80% of them. What % of points do you think I won in those matches? Only 54%. Even the top-ranked players barely win more than half the points they play.” Federer explains how after losing a point, you must learn to move on quickly. It highlights that the line between winning & losing everything is often thin. Victory isn’t just about the best forehands or winning serves.   2️⃣ Soft Skills !  The rest of his speech subtly highlights how an incredible combination of soft skills propelled him forward: #resilience, #adaptability, discipline and hard work, #selfconfidence, frustration management, learning, and especially handling constructive feedback, which helped him both personally and professionally. If it’s true for him, it must be true for us.   #Tennis is an amazing sport because it’s a battle between two opponents, involving physical prowess, technique, tactics, and emotional management. It’s also one of the most frustrating sports, where players aren’t allowed to show their frustration. But that’s another discussion we can revisit.   Get inspired and Watch the video here: https://lnkd.in/dW9RXaSt #SoftSkill #fairceptionApp
