00:00Roger Federer retired. One of the reasons he'll be the greatest ever because he played a lot in
00:07pain and through pain. He was 41 when he retired and that means a lot. Interestingly, even against
00:12Rafael Nadal, most of the matches that he won were after he crossed the age of 33. Federer was
00:20losing a lot to Nadal but the last 8 or 10 matches that they played, Federer dominated and that was
00:26after Federer had crossed the age of 33, 35, 38, 40 and the body was creaking. There was a phase in
00:34between when his backhand had totally broken. He was just slicing and also losing but he kept playing
00:40and that's something I have found in all great players. They play through pain. They simply tell
00:46pain, come on, I don't care and if you can learn to say I don't care to your body and everything
00:53associated with the body, you'll go very far. I don't care. Are you hungry? Of course, but I don't
00:59care. It's animals who are ruled by their physical instincts. Am I an animal? If a human being is
01:05hungry, she will decide whether to go for food. You have the power to choose and that choice is
01:12everything in life.
