A great story from Rafael Nadal on his uncle Toni Nadal’s ‘strict’ teaching style - “One very hot day I went to a match without my bottle of water. I’d forgotten it back home. He could have gone and bought me one, but he *didn’t*. So that I’d learn to take responsibility, he said. Why didn’t I rebel? Because I enjoyed tennis, and enjoyed it all the more once I started winning, and because I was an obedient and docile child. My mother says I was too easy to manipulate. Maybe, but if I hadn’t loved playing the game, I wouldn’t have put up with my uncle. And I loved him too, as I stil do and always will. I trusted him, and so I knew deep down that he was doing what he thought was best for me.” Was Toni right to not go and get another water bottle? Source - Rafa: My Story 📖
