There Is No Right Way!

Have you ever watched Wimbledon?

If yes, you will probably be aware of arguably three greatest Tennis players of all time; Roger Federer Rafael Nadal Novak Djokovic (in no particular order!).

Well they have very different styles in how they approach a game.

Nadal has an all or nothing approach (David Goggins esc as George Mack describes it). He is going all in sprinting up and down the court like a machine.

Djokovic is a focused machine, almost robot like. He is there to do a job and get it done.

Federer is much more laid back. He is trying new trick shots, laughing with his friends, and not seeming to bothered that he is about to play a competitive game.

All three have reached the pinnacle of the game yet all three adopted different approaches.

The point is that to become the best, there is no set path. You don’t have to do things a certain way. Experiment and find the most productive way for you.

You may like having 15 minute time-block or you may like leaving a 4 hour block in the morning.

Yes there are certain skills you need such as communication and resilience to make it to the top. But the way you use them and develop them is unique to you.

Find your own philosophy and what works.

This is from Chris Williamson’s conversation with George Mack. The original source for this tennis metaphor is Matthew Syed.
