Monday Inspiration 01/12 ➡️ Tennis Perspective 🎾

🔥

Welcome to Monday Inspiration and the second full week of January. 😎

With the Australian Open starting today, I want to share a perspective on why tennis is one of the most common sports among top executives and leaders. It is not about cardio or competition. It is about responsibility.

Tennis is a mirror of leadership. You are alone. Every point is a decision. There is no one to blame when things go wrong and no one to hide behind when things go right. Missed serve. Your responsibility. Lost momentum. Your response. Comeback. Your merit.

The sport also teaches something leaders need daily. A point by point mindset. You reset quickly. You do not carry the last mistake into the next decision. You adjust strategy, manage emotions under pressure, and stay composed even when you are losing.

In tennis, effort without direction loses points. In life and business, action without clarity wastes time. The game rewards strategy first and execution second. It treats losses as data, not trauma. That is how strong leaders are built.

So the real question is this. Does it make sense to spend hours every week training under pressure to perform better in real-life decisions? Or is it just an excuse to skip the gym?

What do you think about this comparison? How do sports or challenging activities show up in your life and leadership?

Ps: We have the pleasure to have someone in our community who was and still is a GREAT Tennis Player and, in fact, is in the Hall of Fame of his university,
