Roger Federer says he lost the 2008 Wimbledon final at the very first point, not in the darkness of the fifth set. "But looking back, I feel like I lost at the very first point of the match." "I looked across the net and I saw a guy who...

Roger Federer: "Effortless is a myth. I worked very hard to make it look easy." "I left school at age 16 to play tennis full-time. So I never went to college. But I did graduate recently. I graduated tennis. I know the word is 'retire', but retired sounds awful. Like you, I finished one big thing and I'm moving on to the next. Like you, I'm figuring out what that is." Lesson 1: Effortless is a myth. "People would say my play was 'effortless.' Most of the time, they meant it as a compliment. But it frustrated me when they'd say, 'He barely broke a sweat' or 'Is he even trying?' The truth is, I had to work very hard to make it look easy." Roger shares the wake-up call: "An opponent at the Italian Open publicly questioned my mental discipline. He said, 'Roger will be the favorite for the first two hours. Then I'll be the favorite after that.' Everyone can play well the first two hours you're fit, you're fast, you're clear. After two hours, your legs get wobbly, your mind starts wandering, your discipline starts to fade. My parents, my coaches, even my rivals were calling me out. So I started to train harder. A lot harder." He explains the paradox: "I got the reputation for being 'effortless' because my warmups at tournaments were so casual that people didn't think I'd been training hard. But I had been working hard before the tournament when nobody was watching." Roger redefines talent: "Yes, talent matters. But talent has a broad definition. Most of the time, it's not about having a gift, it's about having grit. A great forehand can be called a talent. But discipline is also a talent. Patience is a talent. Trusting yourself is a talent. Embracing the process, loving the process, these are talents too. Some people are born with them. Everybody has to work at them." Lesson 2: It's only a point. "You can work harder than you thought possible and still lose. I have many times. Tennis is brutal. Every tournament ends the same way: one player gets a trophy. Every other player gets back on a plane, stares out the window, and thinks, 'How the hell did I miss that shot?'" Roger shares the statistic that changed his mindset: "In the 1,526 singles matches I played in my career, I won almost 80% of those matches. But what percentage of points do you think I won? Only 54%. Even top-ranked tennis players win barely more than half of the points they play." He explains what this teaches: "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.' 'I came to the net and got passed again. It's only a point.' Even a great shot, an overhead backhand smash that ends up on ESPN's Top 10, that too is just a point." Roger shares the key mindset: "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 frees you to fully commit to the next point with intensity, clarity, and focus." He reflects on losing Wimbledon 2008: "Some call it the greatest match of all time. Okay, all respect to Rafa, but I think it would've been way better if I had won. Looking back, I feel like I lost at the very first point. I looked across the net and saw a guy who just a few weeks earlier crushed me in straight sets at the French Open. And I thought, 'This guy is maybe hungrier than I am.' It took me until the third set to remember 'Hey buddy, you're the five-time defending champion. You're on grass. You know how to do this.' But it came too late." Roger shares what champions understand: "The best in the world are not the best because they win every point. It's because they know they'll lose again and again, and have learned how to deal with it. You accept it. Cry it out if you need to. Then force a smile. Move on. Be relentless. Adapt and grow. Work harder, work smarter." Lesson 3: Life is bigger than the court. "A tennis court is 2,106 square feet. That's where singles matches happen. Not much bigger than a dorm room. I worked a lot, learned a lot, and ran a lot of miles in that small space. But the world is a whole lot bigger than that." Roger explains his philosophy: "Even when I was just starting out, I knew that tennis could show me the world, but tennis could never be the world. I knew that if I was lucky, I could play competitively until my late 30s, maybe even 41. But even when I was in the top five, it was important to me to have a life, a rewarding life full of travel, culture, friendships, and especially family. These are the reasons I never burned out." He shares what matters most: "Tennis has given me so many memories. But my off-court experiences are the ones I carry forward just as much. The places I've travelled, the platform that lets me give back, and most of all the people I've met along the way." Roger concludes: "Tennis, like life, is a team sport. Yes, you stand alone on your side of the net. But your success depends on your team, your coaches, your teammates, even your rivals. All these influences help make you who you are." His final words: "Whatever game you choose, give it your best. Go for your shots. Play free. Try everything. And most of all, be kind to one another, and have fun out there."

Roger Federer told Dartmouth's graduating class the number he thinks explains his whole career: "In tennis, perfection is impossible. In the 1,526 singles matches I played in my career, I won almost 80% of those matches." Then he asked them to guess a second number: "Now, I have a question for you. What percentage of points do you think I won in those matches? Only 54%. In other words, even top-ranked tennis players win barely more than half of the points they play." What that does to you over a career: "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, then I got passed again, it's only a point." It applies to the good ones too: "Even a great shot, an overhead back-end smash that ends up on ESPN's top-10 playlist. That, too, is just a point." The part that matters is what he does with the point once it ends: "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." And his definition of the best players alive: "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." - Roger Federer (Roger Federer) on Dartmouth Commencement (Dartmouth 🌲) Refusing to carry the last point is the same skill as refusing to carry the day's open loops to bed. That one is the sixth fix in my new cortisol piece.

Justin Thomas is playing the Charles Schwab Challenge this week for the first time in 4 years. Ahead of the event, he said he builds his schedule around what best prepares him for the majors and it may change year to year: “Everybody's different. I would say the most, the first and foremost, most important thing that a lot of the top guys, a lot of, anybody that's in the majors, you're going to at least I would think, is what's going to prepare me the best for the major. So like I've had success in majors when I play the week before. “But playing San Antonio the week before the Masters for me doesn't feel like that's getting me prepared as much as possible for the Masters. Therefore, I don't play San Antonio. I had a year where the PGA, when it was at Southern Hills I wanted to play the week before Byron Nelson, it's easy travel, and I played the week before. So it's very situational of when you play, don't play in that regard. “But I mean I really, really, really try with all my might to not do four in a row, four in a row is like I'm not fun to be around. It's very taxing. So I try to cap it at three. “And, yeah, there's a lot of great tournaments, we're very fortunate to have to miss some great events, but you have to at some point. So just kind of start with the majors and fill it in here and there, I guess.” Justin is coming off the back of a final round 65 to finish T4 at the PGA Championship, his best of the season so far, and will be looking to continue that form and contend for his first win at Colonial Country Club.

"That pussy Adam Cole broke his ankle like the complete dork that he is." MJF talks about the revisionist history of his story with Adam Cole "Here's what happened. At the time, and this is just a fact, we were the highest minute-for-minute drawing angle, not just in AEW, but in all of professional wrestling at that point. We were moving the most merch in the company. At that point, and was to no fault, Bloodline's going to go down as one of the greatest long-term thing, but at that point there was a bit of lull in their story at that point in 2023, and we had taken lead and Better Than You, Baby is what everybody was talking about and then that pussy Adam Cole broke his ankle like the complete dork that he is and then he decided to turn on me because he's a horrible human being. But I learned a lot in that in that year I learned a lot about myself you know when I when I was out—full disclosure I was in a very dark place." I also asked about the injuries he had suffered "It was my hip, my left shoulder; my last two pay-per-view matches—pretty much the left side of my body was useless. But I wasn't going to tell the doctors that because that's not how I was brought up. In not just in real life, but in this business. When I had that time off, I had a lot of time to reflect and it made me angry. Now I look back on it and I shouldn't have been angry at the fans. Who I should have been angry was that myself. Because I went from being, ‘MJF is the best thing since sliced bread,’ and within a flip of a switch, ‘It's MJF sucks. He's killing this company that we love.’ It took, if we're being honest, it took all the way into like the first month of this year of 2025 for everybody to be like, ‘Maybe we were harsh. Maybe he's actually still one of the best in the world. They can't help it. But I know why. It's because nobody likes a braggart. But the unfortunate thing is I can't help myself. I'm just really good at my job and I can't help but talk about it."

Roger Federer won almost 80% of the 1,526 singles matches he played in his career. But he only won 54% of the points. The greatest tennis player of his generation lost almost every second point he played. He spent 2 minutes explaining what that taught him about success: The best in the world are not the best because they win every point. They're the best because they know they'll lose again and again, and they've learned how to deal with it. Think about that. Even top-ranked tennis players win barely more than half the points they play. Federer's insight: 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 backhand smash that ends up on ESPN's top 10 playlist, that too is just a point. Here's the mindset shift that separates champions from everyone else: 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 isn't detachment. It's freedom. It frees you to fully commit to the next point with intensity, clarity, and focus. No baggage from the last mistake. No anxiety about the scoreboard. Just the next shot. Federer's definition of a champion: "You want to become a master at overcoming hard moments. That is to me the sign of a champion." Not a master at avoiding hard moments. You can't avoid them. A master at overcoming them. Watch him in a post-match interview after losing to Djokovic. Reporter: "It was a tough day today. You threw everything at him." Federer: "Yeah, absolutely. Novak played great. Not only today but the whole two weeks. Plus the whole year. Plus last year. Plus the year before that. He deserves it. Well done, Novak." No bitterness or excuses. Reporter: "So close in that first set. It could have been so different." Federer: "Maybe. That's sports. That's why we come to watch it. Just because you don't know the outcome." He continues: "Of course I had my chances in the first set, being up a break. Second set I got lucky to win that. Had some chances early in the third. But it's how it goes." "He was tougher on the bigger points. At the end he was rock solid. I thought he played great. I didn't play bad myself. So I can be very happy as well." Read that last line again. He lost a major final. And he said he can be "very happy as well." He's separating his performance from the outcome. He didn't play badly. Novak was just better on the day. That's it. Move on. Most people do the opposite. They win and think they're geniuses. They lose and think they're failures. Champions know better. You can play great and lose. You can play terribly and win. The point is behind you. The match is behind you. What matters is: did you fully commit? Did you bring intensity, clarity, and focus? If yes, you can be happy regardless of the scoreboard. This applies far beyond tennis. In your career, you'll lose almost half the points you play. The pitch that doesn't land. The promotion that goes to someone else. The project that fails. The rejection email. You can dwell on every shot. Replay every mistake. Carry the baggage into the next opportunity. Or you can say: it's only a point. It's behind me now. And commit fully to the next one. The best in the world aren't the best because they never fail. They're the best because they've learned how to deal with failure. Again and again and again. This 2 minute speech will teach you more about handling setbacks than every motivational video you've ever saved.
