Perfection is not Possible ๐พ
This is a reflection on his career and personal growth.
Here are some keyโs:
Embrace Imperfection:
Federer emphasizes that striving for perfection can be a driving force, but it is important to accept that perfection itself is unattainable. This acceptance allows individuals to handle setbacks and failures more gracefully.
Focus on Improvement:
The journey towards improvement is more important than achieving perfection. Federer highlights the value of continuous learning and growth, both in sports and in life.
Resilience and Perseverance:
Overcoming obstacles and bouncing back from defeats are crucial elements of success. Federer's career is a testament to the power of resilience and perseverance.
Balance and Perspective:
Maintaining a healthy balance between professional ambitions and personal well-being is essential. Federer speaks about the importance of having a well-rounded life and keeping things in perspective.
Appreciation for the Journey:
Cherishing the experiences, lessons, and relationships formed along the way is more rewarding than any single achievement. Federer encourages people to enjoy the process and the small victories.
Humility and Gratitude:
Recognizing and being grateful for the support from family, coaches, fans, and colleagues is vital. Federerโs humility and gratitude have been evident throughout his career.
These takeaways underscore the importance of a balanced approach to ambition, the value of resilience, and the need to appreciate the journey rather than fixating solely on the end goal.

Leaving A Legacy ๐
Whakapapa- means to plant trees youโll never see by being a good ancestor.
Whakapapa is the long line of ancestors who came before you.
On a team, it is all the people who played before you did and your job is to honor them while also โleaving the jersey in a better placeโ to add to the legacy.
A reminder: the sun shines for a moment, but just for a moment on this time, on our time. It reminds us we have a fleeting opportunity to make our mark and to leave the program better.
This sense of inclusion means individuals are more willing to give themselves to a common cause.
The New Zealand All Blacks rugby team uses Whakapapa as a Principle of what it means to play for the team.
Leadership:
Jon Snow is known in the leadership world as whatโs called โthe reluctant leaderโ
Someone who sees leadership not as a rank, but as a responsibility.
They see leadership as the awesome responsibility of seeing those around them rise. Itโs not about being in charge but taking care of those IN your charge.
The reluctant leader is hesitant to lead but when put into a leadership position wears it well!
In this clip even though they are aware they will lose- they fight to protect those who are unable to protect themselves.
