Roger Federer's 2024 commencement address at Dartmouth has received some attention on social media partly because of his admirable humility. In one part, he notes that, while he won almost 80% of his matches, he lost 46% of his points. Why relate this statistic?
Here’s why I am telling you this.
When you’re playing a point, it is the most important thing in the world.
But when it’s behind you, it’s behind you... This mindset is really crucial, because it frees you to fully commit to the next point… and the next one after that… with intensity, clarity and focus.
Sunk costs don't matter.
