It is a game that is all about resetting, pivoting, and battling your mind on the court. Christopher Eubanks shows us that during this year's Wimbledon Tournament. Wimbledon Tournament 2023 [06:34] 8 Lessons to learn from the game of tennis [09:43] I tell my daughters, friends, and family about my time playing competitive tennis. Here are the lessons that I still use off the court: Play one point at a time. Focus on where you are at the moment. You can’t get to the “end of game handshake,” if you are still actively in the game. To win at life, you have to be gritty. Continue to get up over and over again. Adversity builds the success story. You can be down several points and still make a comeback. You always have an opportunity to be and do something different. Don’t second guess yourself. Your attitude and perspective is everything. If you have a sucky attitude about the game or your life, that perspective is going to prevail throughout your day to day to fulfill the prophecy you’ve created for yourself. Your mind can win or lose your match for you. Go into every moment of adversity knowing you will win and see the other side. Sometimes you win and sometimes you lose. Just because it’s a loss on the scoreboard, doesn’t mean it’s a loss in life. Surround yourself with the right people. The right people will provide the wise counsel needed to keep you on the right path. Always be prepared to seize your moment and take action. You never know when your big win is around the corner. Hone in on your skills, so you don’t have to hesitate in the moments curated for you to shine.   Closing [20:35]   Burnout and overwhelm may be a part of your everyday life, but it doesn't have to be!
