Roger Federer, the iconic Swiss tennis player, recently shared his concerns about the demanding nature of professional tennis, particularly in the context of his own family. His twin sons, Leo and Lenny, now follow a four-day-a-week training regimen at Rafael Nadal’s academy, sparking questions about the intensity of their schedule. Federer worries that this leaves little time for other activities, suggesting that such an approach might not be suitable for nine-year-old.
He also emphasized the critical role of a dedicated team and coaches in a player’s development, noting that strong will and support are essential. Federer recognized the challenges of a tennis career, from extensive travel to the pressures of competition. He highlighted the sacrifices athletes must make, including missing out on time with family and friends and enduring sleep deprivation. Federer’s insights shed light on the demanding and often grueling path to success in professional tennis, not only for his sons but for young athletes in general.
