With an almost unrivaled track record as a tennis coach, Toni Nadal is in great demand in Spain or even abroad for conferences or podcasts thanks to his immense experience. Lately he has spoken out for Asking You Questions on the notion of failure, and that’s obviously interesting.
“I think you have to learn from wins and losses because you know both are temporary. I didn’t expect my nephew to have to lose for him to want to improve. Because I knew that even if we won, defeat was near, I tried to make him feel positive in both wins and losses. So what is failure? For me, there is only one failure in life: not being ready to do what is necessary. I never considered Rafael’s loss to be a failure. No matter how painful it was, whether it was at Wimbledon or the Australian Open, I never considered it a failure. It was a lack of preparation: when we lost, I told Rafael that we weren’t good enough, that we had to work a little harder. “
