“I think like anything in life, you know, you have to work hard and you also have to believe in yourself.”
— Roger Federer
Roger Federer, from multiple interviews throughout his career. One of his most consistently repeated personal principles.
I vividly remember the moment at Wimbledon in 2017 when I was down a set and facing adversity. My heart raced, and doubt crept in, but I drew strength from my years of training and belief in myself. I realized that we all face challenges, whether in sport or life. If you push through and stay confident, like I did that day, triumph is possible. Hard work and belief in yourself will take you where you want to go.
