There are no guarantees

Good morning. Good afternoon. Good evening, wherever in the world you are, this is David Sammel with another Monday Podcast.
Today, I'm going to talk about the reasons why I created mindset college, my online life skills programme for competitors. It's because I understand, from my own journey, some of the pain that you might be going through, and that I definitely went through.
This is, was really brought home to me, at a challenger in Phoenix, where a guy I used to play against in college, who was all American and number two in the country. We talked about our college careers.
I said to him, "Well, you know, you were really tough to play against."
And he said,
Well, Dave, you know, you were too! One of the things a lot of us top guys in college used to say, is "Wow Dave is really intimidating, big serve and forehand. Thank goodness, he doesn't really know what he's doing on the court."
And whilst this was not news to me, hearing it again, really stuck to me. And that is, had I had possibly some better information fed to me, had I maybe been sharper in my own brain in figuring out what needed to be done, rather than much later in my career, I would have been much more aware of my own weapons, and not continually over estimating my opponents and worrying about what they could do to me.
