A 90's Kind of Rivalry

Andre Agassi talking about Novak and the coaching partnership with Andy (But also about Pete. Because of course he is.)

“When Pete [Sampras] retired, it was a blow to me. It set me back a little bit. It made me rediscover my inspirations on some level. Djokovic’s lost the guys that he made history with. So, it’ll probably get tougher and tougher emotionally, but I would never bet against him. Bet against him at your own peril."

“In any coach-student relationship you need trust and trust can take time, but it’s nice when it starts with believing in somebody because you know that they know your experience. There’s an asset to their history as competitors.”

“Any success of a relationship is based on complete buy-in and that’s always the part you have to wait and see. It’s not what I know that changes your career, information doesn’t lead to transformation, somebody has to counter that. That’s the connector. I’m sure there’s going to be a lot of trust immediately, we’ll see how the results go.”

I'm sick, it's been raining since yesterday so there was only one logical solution: Watch hit for haiti exhibition match.

I appear to be ignoring the current tennis. I have too much stress right now, too much anxiety about work starting tomorrow.

And so I'm bundled up on the couch, comfort watching an exhibition match from like 2010 with Rafa & Agassi v Federer & Sampras. Four of my all time favourite players and it's hopefully going to be fantastic!

¿El genio nace o se hace? La ciencia detrás del talento excepcional

La eterna pregunta sobre si los genios nacen con su talento o lo desarrollan con esfuerzo ya tiene respuesta. Según el Manual de Cambridge de las cualidades y competencias de expertos, citado por la revista científica New Scientist, la genialidad no es solo cuestión de genética, sino de una combinación de talento innato, formación y trabajo incansable. En otras palabras, un genio se hace… pero…
