Why does Roger Federer talk to himself during practice?
Ever wondered if self-talk is worthwhile?
If you’re in any performance-based role, mastering this skill is essential.
Sales, leadership, parenting, sports — all benefit from applying the same principles as Roger Federer.
Here’s the process:
Always talk to yourself with clear instructions.
Always give yourself a reason why you want to do it.
Always be intentional.
In many of our advanced training sessions on mastering your mindset, we teach that the way you talk to yourself can change your worldview in seconds. Yet, no one actually tells you to pause, regroup, reset, and then take action.
Working smart is a real process — not just working hard.
In any professional sport, the margins between winning and losing are small. You can’t afford to repeat mistakes. Everyone at the top level works hard, so what’s the difference?
Hope this helps you!
