Today I spoke with a young tennis player who told me to have realized once again how crucial is the emotional control reading a thought of Alessandro Del Piero, who carry because actually worth much more than many words.
“My dream is to measure myself in an individual sport, I wonder if I will have time and opportunity to do so. This would increase my sense of challenge, my desire to always excel. I’d like to be a tennis player: the presence of the ball, to me, is essential, and in tennis the ball is. Then there’s the net, there is an opponent. a sport tremendous, I think that the enormous psychic tensions, in the end, make many players really specials, a bit as a golfers. The emotional commitment in tennis is absolute. there does not exist the bench, there is not a coach that keeps you out or replace you. there’s just you. Indeed, you’re alone. ”
(From Alessandro Del Piero, Giochiamo ancora, p.80-81).
