WHO TO USE AS A MODEL FOR TEACHING TO PLAY TENNIS 🎾 ACCORDING TO TONI NADAL

You would do better to teach a player to be like Rafael than like Federer, because being like Federer is very difficult. If you set Federer as a model, you probably won’t succeed.

You would do better to have someone a bit more accessible like Rafael.

In my life, I have always placed more importance on character development than on technical training... That's how it has been...

With a good character, you can access everything, you have no limits...
You might need two hours to learn something, and I might need 14 hours, but if I practice for 14 and a half hours, and you for only an hour and a half, I will definitely do it better.

If you properly develop a player's character, he will be able to face the important moments knowing he is not that good, but relying on his character. I have placed a lot of importance on character and the mental aspect.
It’s very difficult to be a Federer and play with that ease... or be a Messi... It’s almost impossible... One is born with that gift.

But being a good player... that you can become. You can learn to improve.

Tennis as a sport is simple: it’s about precision, playing here and there trying to hit increasingly harder.
It’s a matter of improving skills, insisting on technique, and hitting harder within the court.

There are many things you can learn if you work. But to do so, you must have a good character.
The first student I coached was very talented. I thought he would become very strong but after a while, I realized that he couldn’t become strong because his mind wouldn’t allow him to endure more than five consecutive errors.
If he didn’t learn something in half an hour, his mind told him he would never learn it.

This is one of Rafael’s great virtues... He continues to improve every day... He continues to look for different ways to succeed.
I believe this is easier rather than trying to imitate Federer.

On The Difference Between Champions And Players Who Don’t Get To The Highest Level 🎾

Here's a Facebook post idea based on the article from Tennis World USA about self-training in tennis:

🎾 Looking to up your tennis game on your own? I've just read some great tips on self-training in tennis! Here are three key strategies:

Work on Your Serve: A crucial shot you can practice solo. Aim for specific targets or work on different serve styles.

Wall Hitting: Great for stroke practice, footwork, and reaction. The wall is a relentless opponent!

Footwork Drills: Essential for tennis! Set up intense 30-second drills with equal rest periods to boost agility and stroke readiness.

No excuses, you can always train and improve! For more details and tips, check out the full article here:

KEYWORD: IMPROVE 💪
"Only people who believe they already know everything are the ones who do not train. In life, I cannot conceive the concept of not IMPROVING something every day, I cannot do something the same today, just as yesterday. The normal thing is to progress, and this can only be done by practicing. That's why there are values. Knowing that IMPROVING is vital, as is wanting to listen and be advised.

Today we live in a world where effort is not well seen. When one makes an effort, they stand out from the others, and wanting to stand out is not seen with good eyes. What is evident is that those who make an effort have more chances of achieving success, and we can all IMPROVE.

Success is not winning Roland Garros or the US Open, success is IMPROVING and reaching your maximum. Winning a grand slam does not depend only on me, but also on my rivals. I don't know if there will be one or two Federers in the tournament, or if there will be five Djokovics. I must look and IMPROVE what depends on me, and that is success.

That's why one will have success being the best in the world and another will have it being number 100. Success is knowing that you have done all the things that were within your reach to achieve your best; being satisfied with what you have done."
Nadal Toni

*The important thing is to work on improvements, not on results.

THREE KEYWORDS: PERSIST, RESIST, AND REPEAT!
Playing tennis is about persisting, resisting, and repeating.

When we decided to become tennis players, we should have understood these three words very well. Known in our day-to-day, they guide us and show a simple yet difficult path to follow: the path to excellence! 💪👍🔝

Life is a continuous repetition. When I wanted to improve a certain play situation or a specific stroke, I would repeat it thousands of times until it was done well.

Trainings were boring and repetitive. But I learned that confidence comes from well-done repetition.

Persisting is something so outdated in the new "Reset" generation, but falling and getting back up, making mistakes and looking for new solutions, not understanding and paying more attention to get out of it, have taken me to a place that was almost impossible or unimaginable for me at the beginning.

Resisting everything and everyone is complicated
Every day, they try to distance us from our dreams.
Every day, alternative plans, shortcuts, facilitators appear...

The true path to success must be long, unpleasant, and full of stones. Some we pass over, others we push further away, and others, more difficult, make us change our course and quickly trace a new path.

There is nothing more wonderful than the journey towards our goal 🎯.
You can't get there by always looking out the window. Look forward 📈

Enjoy your journey and always believe in it, despite everything. It will be wonderful 🤩

by Fernando Meligeni
(ex ATP Brazilian tennis player)

"MAKING REAL 'STEPS FORWARD'
I often hear it said: 'Tony, I feel like I'm always in the same place, things repeat themselves for me and don't allow me to change!'

First of all, I'll honestly tell you that we don't have power over what happens but we can definitely CHOOSE to have power over how we decide to react.
And do you know what always makes the past the same as the future? Yourself. Or rather, your repetitive habits, your patterns.
You may not realize it, but usually, we humans tend to repeat automatic behaviors in response to events. We make the same choices and interpret facts (or novelties) in the same way.

Why do we do this? To save energy, effort, mental and emotional work.
But starting a journey of transformation and growth means taking a different path than the one we have taken. This is to not get what we have always gotten.

So to change your life, you absolutely need to make sacrifices. You need to leave behind old beliefs, old interpretations, old wounds. You need to use courage to be 'a new yourself' in the face of everyday reality and CHOOSE every day, every single time, to be a NEW you. To make NEW CHOICES.

Try it today. When something happens and you're about to react in the exact same way, try saying to yourself: 'let's see what's good for me here.'

Remember: 'Life happens FOR you, not TO YOU.'

NEVER FORGET THAT TENNIS IS A GAME OF ERRORS
Never forget that tennis is a game of errors within a match and a game of defeats within various tournaments. Therefore, we must train intensely, with quality and clear goals to minimize errors within a match, and by doing so, we will also reduce losses within a tournament season.

The biggest mistake a person can make is being too afraid to make a mistake.

Losing cannot be your enemy; the fear of losing is your enemy. Consistency, determination, attitude, self-confidence, tolerance for frustration after an error, clarity during the game, and the mental strength that comes from emotional control that allows you to maintain 'order' are the foundations for reducing errors and increasing victories

THE CRISIS ACCORDING TO EINSTEIN (ALSO APPLIES TO SPORT)

Crisis is the greatest blessing for people and nations because crisis brings progress. Creativity is born from anguish just as day is born from dark night. It is in crisis that inventiveness, discoveries, and great strategies arise.

He who overcomes the crisis overcomes himself without being 'overcome'. He who blames his failures and difficulties on the crisis, violates his own talent and gives more importance to problems than to solutions. The real crisis is the crisis of incompetence. The inconvenience of people and nations is the laziness in seeking solutions and ways out. Without crisis, there are no challenges, without challenges life is a routine, a slow agony. Without crisis, there is no merit.

It is in the crisis that the best of each person emerges because without crisis all winds are only slight breezes. To speak of crisis is to increase it, and to be silent in the crisis is to exalt conformism. Instead, let's work hard. Let's end once and for all the only dangerous crisis, which is the tragedy of not wanting to fight to overcome it.
