“What matters is how we will be remembered”

Rafael Nadal he told the new graduates in his Academy, part of a conversation he had with his all-time great rival Roger Federer some weeks ago. Federer and Nadal they met off the field and participated in a joint advertising campaign.

Filming took place on Dolomites where Federer and Nadal posed at an altitude of 3,000 metres. The crux of Nadal’s speech is linked to the fact that the player from Mallorca and the Swiss tennis player agreed in the reasoning on the fact that “the most important thing is how we will be remembered“.

Rafael Nadal in his speech noted: “A few months ago I had the opportunity to visit the Dolomites in Italy together with my friend and rival Roger Federer. There in the mountains we had an interesting conversation about a word that I consider very important: inheritance.

We both agreed on something that we believe is of the utmost importance,” he said 22 times Slam champion.

Rafael Nadal: “How would we like to be remembered in a few years?”

Nadal during his speech he revealed that at the center of the conversation with Federer there were some questions such as: “How would we like to be remembered in a few years’ time? What do we want future generations to think of us?”.

And, Nadal explained, “we were both very confident in our answers. It’s nice that ours successes, titles and records are recognized, but, as the years go by, someone new is likely to come along and do it better.

What matters is how we will be remembered. We both want to be remember them as good people. We live in a society that focuses on the what and now, but we would like to highlight the importance of as.

The people around you should see you as someone to copy for your values” concluded the Spanish tennis player.
