Roger Federer is advising all aspiring tennis stars to be patient and trust the process as the Swiss believes that "sometimes simplifying things works best." During his career, Federer was known as someone who was searching for ways to improve his game and add something new.
Even in the latter years of his career - after all the success - Federer was trying to find ways to improve his game. "When you were training to be a professional tennis player, were there any moments when you were impatient about learning new skills? Like you want to learn all very quickly.
How do you deal with such impatience that might do you harm more than benefit?" a fan asked Federer. Federer answered: "In tennis, there is so much you always want to improve. there are so many incredible details. you have to be selective and methodical in how you go about it.
a great coach helps you prioritize what to work on in what order, and what the end goal should be over the next 1/3/5 years. wanting to improve everything at once can be a trap, so sometimes simplifying things works best."
