Novak Djokovic is, as Casper, Ruud said it yesterday when he beat him in the finals of the French Open, said he's sometimes not human.So when you think about role models, right, or people you look to maybe not a full role model, but something someone you can take some insight from, like, oh, I need to do a bit more of that in my life where I want to be better at this.Or should we be looking to the the Djokovic of the world? Should we be looking to these the nonrepresentative human that is borderline not human? And how they are able to perform at such a high level unlike anyone else? What do you what do you think of that? Yeah, that's such a good question. So, yes, I do think when we think about how to improve our lives and how to become the people we want to be or to reduce the difficulties we have in our life, having role models or people we look up to or want to be like is tremendously helpful.
In AA. They always say, Look for a sponsor who has something that you want. In other psychotherapeutic methods, they often go to role models and can you try to emulate those people, emulate them in ways that are meaningful to you? So no doubt it's certainly helpful. I often talk about there's ideals, so there's ideal behaviors, so we can think about Djokovic as an ideal for a tennis player, a superhuman creation that none of us should expect ourselves to be. But we can look at these people are look at ideals and try to live in alignment with those ideals while recognizing that we're not perfect and that we it is not okay or not helpful to hold ourselvesm responsible or expect ourselves to be able to be that superhuman thing is just a pathway, a direction, something to follow. And we need that.The ability to deal with pressure at the best is is something that it's necessary. And in this video, we should do that, which would seem to be easy spoken about is the only to put it as best. It is easy to do.
So you're a tennis player and you said earlier today,if I want to be a better tennis player, playing more tennis isn't enough per se, right? Okay. It's what separates them in these intense moments of stress and frustration or adversity and how they work through those moments that separates them from the rest. there's there's a player that the author of this video is going back to a guy, Grigor Dimitrov suggesting that there's a contrast between like Djokovic and sort of other players like him. But I think it's worth saying that all elite tennis players, all elite athletes have incredible levels of mental strength. And Novak Djokovic is an elite amongst those who have otherwise elite levels of mental strength. He's the elite of the elite. So that's how like that's how crazy his mental capacity is, because initially they're sort of he's the authors contrasting some players against the greats.
I think it is going to set the match for yourself in the right state of mind where you are calm, compulsively enough, but yet you have the right intensity of the drug addiction and the dynamic of what's beautiful. So for any job, any profession, anything we want to do, he's just pointing to the fact that there's more than just working on the shot, working on the backhand, learning how to serve. There's a whole other realm of preparation and practice that goes into performing at one's best. I definitely make this mistake of thinking I've done my homework and I'm just going to show up at something, whether it's, you know, teaching at the University of Toronto or you know, playing a tennis match
