You have access to everything, now.

Everything you need to know about tennis, for example, is a Google search away. If you want to play tennis, you could watch coaching videos from the best players on the planet.

People who can’t get good (or Great) are the ones who will conclude one of two things:

  1. It’s my lack of talent
  2. It’s my mindset

Those who believe one are doomed.

Those who believe two are on a life-long adventure.

The Rich Girls in ‘King Richard’

When the rich girls in the movie King Richard lose, they say, “I suck!” They break their tennis rackets on the court. The movie makes a point of contrasting their reaction (and their parents scolding them) with Serena and Venus.

They know all the rules. They have the best equipment. They have coaches. Why can’t they win?

Richard says to his daughters Serena and Venus, “Just have fun girls.”

Playing Rats

Rats who are denied the ability to play literally get sick.
