Rafa cannot be an inspiration. And I mean that seriously. Watched the RAFA series on Netflix with my daughters this week. The 9 year old was okay and maybe even excited. The five-year-old had to be - let's say - firmly encouraged to stay seated. I kept pausing to tell them where I was when some of these matches happened. The 2008 Wimbledon final - Nadal winning his first on grass, at dusk, in what many still call the greatest match ever played. The 2012 epic, which for a lot of people remains the most complete - for me a complete heartbreak. The 2022 comeback - a man who had been told his foot condition might end his career after his first few grand slams, winning not only his 14th Roland Garros but his second AO. Each of those matches is etched somewhere specific in my memory. The emotions came back watching the documentary like they hadn't gone anywhere. My daughters of course couldn't relate. They will grow up creating their own moments and their own memories. I hope sport is part of that and maybe even their own matches, who knows. But I kept coming back to the thought I mentioned at the beginning as I watched the series. Rafa cannot be an inspiration. Nobody can look at what he did - the physical punishment, the sheer doggedness, the way he kept coming back when his own body was the opponent - and think: I can do that. He belongs to a handful of people across all of human history, in sport or any other field, who achieved what they achieved. Holding him up as a template is almost unfair to the rest of us. But here is what the documentary does show: At the absolute pinnacle of human achievement, he felt self-doubt. He wanted to give up. He lost hope. He questioned himself in ways that will feel familiar to anyone who has ever tried to build something or push through something hard. And that is the more honest inspiration. Court Philippe-Chatrier has the words engraved: "Victory belongs to the most tenacious." But the tenacity that matters to most of us isn't the tenacity to win the tournament. It's the tenacity to win your own inner doubts. To show up when everything in you is arguing for staying put. Showing up isn't just how you succeed. Showing up is the success. My daughters will figure that out in their own way, in their own time. I just hope they have their own version of those matches to look back on when they need reminding. Well done Netflix. Made me cry.

@shanebacon Agreed. One to remember!

Rafael Nadal sobre el concepto de 'talento'.

Even as a competitor and trying to beat the guy every week, sometimes I have to step back and realize how great @McIlroyRory is for golf. How he handles the spotlight, the highs, the lows, his social life, the fans, his golf, everything.. it’s awesome to watch

Pero Pepiño, ¿tú sabes lo que es un fascista? Estoy harta de que quienes pactan con los supremacistas y golpistas, los bolivarianos que defienden aún hoy al sátrapa Maduro y los proetarras crean que pueden repartir carnets de buenos y malos españoles. ¡Váyanse a tomar vientos!

I can't recall a color analyst having a better game than Romo is today. Adds so much to the broadcast in terms of recognizing what is coming.

Played a few holes with my golf school peeps today. 1st hole - lost a ball. 2nd hole - lost a ball. 3rd hole - shanked one! 4th hole - shattered my phone on the cart path. Needless to say I didn’t buy and lottery tickets on the way home. Golf! 🤣🤣
