Novak Djokovic is the tennis player with the most Grand Slams: 24. He has won absolutely everything and has defeated Roger Federer and Rafa Nadal. That’s why maintaining “motivation” is so difficult for him.
His coach, Goran Ivanisevic, told it. “It is not easy to motivate him because he has already won everything, but we have a way. Many times we do not agree with each other, but it is good to discuss,” the Serbian coach expressed during a conference.
His way of “motivating” the tennis player, sometimes, is to “argue”: “I’m constantly under a lot of stress. There are five of us on the team, but it’s always my fault when something doesn’t work. That’s what happens when you’re a coach.” “.
“I am happy to train a genius, the best tennis player of all time and one of the best athletes in general. Novak is one of a kind, there are not many people in the world like him, he is a winner. He was lucky to have people like Rafa Nadal and Roger Federer before him, they put pressure on each other, but he motivates himself,” says Ivanisevic, who has accompanied Nole in his greatest successes.
Contrary to him is a bad idea: “When you tell him he can’t do something, it’s even worse. He shows you that he can do it. He always tries to find a way to win, without excuses, even if he’s not well or if he’s injured.”
The Serbian is preparing for the Paris Masters 1000, which starts on October 28. His big goal is the ATP Finals, in Turin, which will be held from November 12 to 19.
