I think it all starts even before you get out on the court. You know what you do to get yourself mentally prepared for the match, for you to get yourself in the right state of mind where you are, you know, calm, compulsory and enough, but yet you have the right intensity and the drive and the motivation to to play well and be dynamic and fast on the courts. beautiful. So he's just pointing out it starts before you get on the court and that's just this idea of I guess daily habits practice well if we want to grow and become more resilient or whatever the pursuit is that we are pursuing, it takes a lot of effort and practice. It's not just when it's show time or game time. So for any job, any profession, anything we want to do, he's just pointing to the fact that there's more than just working on the shot, working on the backhand, learning how to serve. There's a whole other realm of preparation and practice that goes into performing at one's best. Yeah, and I think also I definitely make this mistake of thinking I've done my homework and I'm just going to show up at something, whether it's, you know, teaching at the University of Toronto or you know, playing a tennis match and thinking that I'm going to sort of like stumble into that new place, like hop out of the car and just start doing what I've been physically practicing doing for the past few months or a few years and never ends up working like that. So even with work, I find before I have to give a lecture or run a class, I often have to go to the like. I often just go to the washroom and I'll look at myself in the mirror and say like, let's go. Let's, like bring passion, bring commitment to teaching. Let's do this. The times when I don't do that for if I'm rushed, if I'm stressed about something, I forget it's it's hard It's it's tough for me to get up to that level. So what Novak here is talking about it with Djokovic is talk about Serena. You got to be serene and intense. Yes. And that's a strange combination. So that little bit of mental prep for whatever you do, whether it's tennis, anything work related, even if it's, you know, if you can have a stressful conversation with a parent or a loved one, if you're about to go on a date sometimes just like a few minutes of like, all right, where do I need to be?
