What a Wimbledon final. Two phenomenal athletes. One shared commitment: learning to become better competitors. In the lead-up, I revisited the Alcaraz docuseries—and one moment stuck with me. A conversation between Andre Agassi and Carlos Alcaraz, where Agassi says: “You always want to learn in 10 minutes what took somebody 10 years.” He’s not offering shortcuts. He’s encouraging curiosity. A mindset that says: tap into those who’ve walked the path before you—in this case, Nadal. Not to copy him, but to learn from him.
Alcaraz’s response? He’s open to the input, but clear: “I don’t want to be called Rafa’s successor. I want to be called Carlos Alcaraz Garfia.” That balance is powerful. We can honour our individuality and still stay open to others’ hard-won wisdom. Learning doesn’t diminish us—it adds depth to who we already are.
So here’s the reflection: What do I want to know in 10 years that I could start learning today?
Curiosity is a great place to start.
