Life is only a point!
2024 Commencement Address by Roger Federer at Dartmouth
"In tennis, perfection is impossible. In the 1,526 singles matches I played in my career, I won almost 80% of those matches. 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.
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 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.
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 crucial - because it frees you to fully commit to the next point with intensity, clarity, and focus.
You want to become a master at overcoming hard moments. That, to me, is the sign of a champion. 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, and then force a smile. You move on - be relentless, adapt, and grow."
Life is full of points, some won, some lost, but each one is just a step in the journey. Embrace each moment, learn from it, and keep pushing forward with a growth mindset. Because in the end, it's all about progress, learning, and empowerment."
