Failing is part of life and an integral part of success. Failing at some point in life does not make you a failure. Learn from it and get smarter. Move on and look forward to the next challenge. It is all about the kind of mindset you have.

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?

Roger Federer's commencement speech at Dartmouth, where he shares his tennis experiences and the wisdom he gained. "In tennis, perfection is impossible. In the 1526 singles matches I played in my career. I won almost 80% of those matches." He asks the audience What percentage of points do you think I won in those matches?..." only 54%. In other words, even top-ranked tennis players win barely half of the points they play." Federer continues that when you lose almost every other point on average, you learn not to get stuck after a shot. Instead, you teach yourself not to dwell on the double fault, remembering it's only a point. Even when winning with a great backhand smash that winds up on ESPN's highlight reels, remembering it's only a point. He highlights that "when you are playing a point, it has to be the most important thing in the world," but when that moment has passed having a mindset that allows you to put the outcome behind so you can play the next point with just as much focus and clarity is an important skill to develop. Federer reinforces the normal feeling of self-doubt and distinguishes world champions as those who know they will lose again and again and have learned to deal with it. 🙏🏼💗 Thanks to @tennistv for the image #lifelessons #resilience #mindsetcoach

What's Your Legacy? Tennis is my favorite sport, and it's not just about the incredible rallies. Great players like Federer and Nadal inspire me both on and off the court. Nadal shared a conversation with Federer about something fundamental: legacy. While their records and titles are impressive, they both agree on what they want to be remembered for – being good people. This is a powerful message that transcends tennis. It's about the impact we have on those around us. Focusing on the "how" – how we treat others, how we approach challenges, and the values we embody. Being a leader by our actions is more important than simply chasing achievements. #tennis #inspiration #leadership #Federer #Nadal https://lnkd.in/ew-3T84K.

Whatever game we play in life or sport, losses are inevitable. As Roger Federer wisely stated at Dartmouth's commencement address, even the top-ranked tennis players win barely over half of the points they play. Reflecting on winning only 54% of points throughout his career spanning over 1500 matches, he highlighted the essence of reframing the balance between winning and losing. Federer's words resonate globally, emphasizing that we all encounter setbacks, whether in a point, a game, a match, or even a job. The crucial aspect is to persevere, staying in the game, and continuously elevating our performance by embracing lessons from our failures. #whatinspiresme #growthmindset #motivation

Drawing Inspiration from Roger Federer: Embracing Consistency and Resilience Roger Federer's incredible career, winning 80% of the 1526 matches he played, is a true testament to the power of consistency and resilience. His journey reminds me that success isn't just about the victories but also how we handle the challenges. In the world of entrepreneurship and logistics, the same principles apply. We face daily challenges that test our resolve and ingenuity. Whether navigating complex logistics, meeting customer demands, or driving innovation, staying committed to our goals and continually striving to improve is critical. Federer's dedication, focus, and relentless pursuit of excellence resonate deeply with me. I strive to emulate his ability to show up daily, give his best, and learn from every setback in my journey. I draw inspiration from Federer's legacy and apply these lessons to my professional and personal life. I believe I can achieve remarkable success by staying resilient, focused, and consistently delivering value.

Hear what Roger Federer has to say: "In the 1,526 singles matches I played in my career, I won almost 80% of those matches... Now, I have a question for all of you... what percentage of the 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." Just think about it. Almost 50% failure in anything you try even if you are top class professional. You have to stop fearing failure. And more importantly you have to stop dwelling on failure by moving on to your next shot. It's only a point you lost, not the game! Brilliant lesson to learn today for anyone who wants to be a professional at anything. Salute to Roger Federer for these amazing life lessons. #failure #rogerfederer #tennis #lifelessons #success #grit ----- Video credit: Tennis Channel Twitter Feed Quote credit: Transcript provided by Dartmouth.

🎬 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

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
