Tennis and basketball may be different sports in appearance, but similar to sudden emotional revolt in essence. For better or worse, everything can change within two minutes in a rivalry matched the importance of each owner. The fear that the player who dumps from the perimeter released is similar to that of the tennis player who does not close a point with a frankly parallel or half -clue blow though, at the same sport, in those situations no other exit sets the action. Novak djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz They are teachers who manage emotions like this Rafa Nadal. A trio that shapes the mind of an NBA team such as Toronto Raptorsthat he clearly wants to repeat the 2019 ring where Marc Gasol, Serge Ibaka and Sergio Scariolo participate.
The coach of the Canadian team, the Serbian Darko Rajakovic, He does not take care of what his countrymen did in the latter Open Australia, where finally a muscle injury forced him to retire from his party to the semifinal against Alexander Zverev. Belgrade Fierce Fierce has failed in his new attempt to reach the number of 25 Grand Slam titles.
However, thereafter an end to an open Australia Jannik SinnerRajakovic first recognized the specific influence of djokovic in the rebuilding of these young Raptors in terms of mental. Coach tries to learn concepts from other sports such as football as an admirer of PEP Guardiola and Jose Mourinho And both in tennis.
“The mind should be the most important thing that differentiates the best athletes in the world, even the sport. At this level, the highest, each one has physical properties and what really makes the difference in mind. Novak djokovic is probably one of the best in history with thought and how the game focuses, how can you mane Also the found emotion developed by the current number of five in the world.
“I try to listen to many of his interviews. I had the opportunity to copy some of his interviews on our team also to understand the mind of a champion. So certainly to learn a lot,” added 46 -Year -old coach, who trained between 2009 and 2012 at Torrelodones space Madrid, who is worth the EBA League, is the fourth highest category of basketball in Spain.
Asked days about whether he remembered an appointment of his countrymen specifically, Rajakovic also included Nadal and Alcaraz in conversation.
“No, I don’t remember. It’s about thinking. It’s about embracing poverty, present at that time, you know, tennis is a sport where every game of the best players decides on a possession (an exchange in this case), a ball. So listening to him, Rafa Nadal, Alcaraz, those children are the ones who have always come from them,” Darko also said Darko Rajakevic. to the head of a team led by the court of Scottie BarnesRookie of the year 2022.
If there is a team profile in the NBA that can be learned from tennis mental and emotional management, this is one of the rebuilds like the Toronto’s eleventh team with 24-45 at a time when they went further after the collapse of the previous project during the previous campaign. Drinking from the tennis mentality, these Raptors are still learning how to handle complex emotions to manage as a bad night in shooting, overcome meetings that seem to have lost or how not going down when the opponent recovers from a clear loss.
In all of these situations, it is key to owning by forgetting the past for good and evil in the same way that in tennis it is capital that focuses on the most present present. In this sense, Rafa Nadal He was a teacher of that point to point out the strategy he always mentioned when asked about the keys to his many and inspiring comebacks, though one of the ease of punching that was hurting and could decide a set could fail before.
Mental Change -and in his diet -was what promotes Djokovic at the height of Nadal and Roger Federer When everything does not include it from the conversation -there is a Grand Slam with 23 and a half years -but it can be said that Rafa’s not mistaken thinking is the best tennis testified. Unlike Serbio, 14 times champion of Roland Garros He never broke a racket, the greatest expression of a tennis player’s failure. Nadal also did not express a lack of raids.
The influence of studying Nadal, Alcaraz and Djokovic seems to have a positive impact on these raptors, which is after chain 15 speeds often Between December and January they have a 15-14 record to be a play-in dream. While the Canadian team is still green to think about the playoffs, the beautiful wicks include the young people who combined themselves as their own Barnes, RJ Barrett and Gradey Dick In contrast to teams in eternal change -establishment such as Hornets and Wizards that also do not have the support of having a ring.
The shocking integration of Brandon Ingram In the middle of the season, the Toronto process needs to be accelerated, even though the former film of the Pelicans has no date of return after reaching the raptors with a severe ankle sprain.
Jakob PoeltlOne of the veterans of Toronto’s costumes, reflects the benefits of studying from other sports.
“It’s interesting -friendly, because it tries to show similarities between different sports. Although tennis is completely different from basketball, there are a few things about thinking, mental strength, hardness and things so you can take a lot of different sports and you can learn the things people do with an elite in different aspects of life. grew up from there, so I think is an interesting -friendly perspective and, which I said, different in the world, ”explained the Austrian Pivot of 29 years.
Rajakovic has a classic Character competitive Serbian but the required left hand should have every modern coach now in any sport. As a great coach, modern, Balkan coach also learns from other sports such as football, tennis but also the NFL, readers of the book of Bill Belichick, The most supporting bowl coach in history with six with New England Patriots.
But, in terms of thinking, there is nothing like studying from a sport that is super psychological as tennis and the best handling of complex emotions. The trio Djokovic – Nadal – Alcaraz, The shaping of the mind of a potential NBA champion.
The fighter inspires Toronto
Georges St-Pierre, also the UFC mentality for Raptors
Exploiting its national relationship, Rajakovic’s goal can be brought Novak djokovic One day at his team’s facilities so that his players first find out -until the Nole’s unshakable thought as they have done Georges St-Pierre (GSP).
