My two cents on obvious, but necessary keys that Federer must possess to have had such a long, as well as great career. Don’t know what percentages any of these keys might contribute to his success:
On Court Mental: Controlled aggression which frees him to focus on anticipation, shot selection; ability to not dwell on errors.
Technique: Impeccable footwork enabling him to never be rushed, receive ball in strike zone, and have opportunities to Implement a variety of shots.
Conditioning: A technique which minimizes injuries; correct balance in type and amount of training??
Sleep/Diet: 12 hours a day of sleep??- saying no to distractions to get 12 sleep hours may be the most difficult key of all-certainly required for optimal mental and muscle recovery at that level
Scheduling: John discussed in article.
Off court mental health: John discussed his well adjusted mentality. Was it due to professional sports psychology counseling, good family life, philanthropic and other non tennis interests???
