in tennis Perfection is impossible in the 1,526 singles matches I played in my career I won almost 80% of those matches now I have a question for you what percentage of points do you think at w of those matches only 54% in other words even top ranked tennis players win barely more than half of the points they play when you lose every second point on average you learn not to dwell on every shot you teach yourself to think okay I double faulted it's only a point okay I came to the net and I got passed again it's only a point even a great shot an overhead back and smash that ends up on ESPN's top 10 playlist that too is just a point and here's why I'm telling you this when you're playing a point it has to be the most important thing in the world and it is but when it's behind you it's behind you this mindset is really crucial because it frees you to fully commit to the next point at the next point after that with intensity Clarity and focus the truth is whatever game you play in life sometimes you're going to lose a point a match a season a job it's a roller coaster with many Ops and downs and it's natural when you're down to doubt yourself and to feel sorry for yourself and by the way your opponents have self-doubt too don't ever forget that but negative energy is wasted energy you want to become a master at overcoming hard moments that is to me the sign of a champion the best in the world are not the best because they win every point it's because they know they lose again and again and have learned how to deal with it you accept it cry it out if you need to and then force a smile you move on be Relentless adapt and grow work harder work smarter remember work smarter [Music]
