Australia Open 2017 - Press conference on and on

April 9, 2017

Introduction

Coding is a lonely game even Julia worked on code review website and also had mocking experience, sometimes Julia missed the physical experience of tennis sports, people meet on the court and exchange ideas face to face.

Julia has to deal with different emotions when she goes through coding and full time job. She likes to keep learning. One thing she starts to try first time and write a blog is to watch the press conference of tennis player after each round of Australian Open 2017 and document her learning.

Watch one talk a time. Roger Federer had over 5 press conferences. Try to catch up some thinking process of top players, deal with loss, win, emotion, health, practice, everything.

One thing Julia likes to work on is her interview skills, give her a talk, she found out that she is better to learn from top professional players. More real, more related to her reality, she likes to seek open fair opportunity to advance and grow her career, by hard working and showing what she learns through a lot of practice.

Roger Federer

underdog? as long as healthy, have opportunity to play, underdog is fine

2. Roger Federer - SF press conference

3. Final press conference

Play the ball, not your opponent. Problem solving mindset. Play free, brave will be rewarded here. Mindset the coach shared with Roger.

4. After final vs Warinka - Indian Wells 2017 - 15 minutes

Before he has favorite, now enjoy every week. Building block of his career?

Mental challenge? Dubai in lockroom, need more time off before Miami. Lack of energy. From zero, finished middle night. Felt right away, good. Last Nov., Dec., set some goals for season, top 8 in the season. Give me time to get there. Reassess the goal, where is the plan?

Stage of come back? Confidence does wonder. Too much fun, how hard it is to work on. ...

Play vs not play? Play more or less?

Notes:

Try to focus on my game when I was in the court. How simple it is that. Cannot control ...

Feel good, compete great! Appreciate my run so far. Give myself a little bit credit.

Talk about loss against Roger, over 4 hours. Great player do, over long hours.

Game plan ....
