Nadal faces an in form Andy Murray today, and the big question is “will he do it this time”?
That question is seemingly asked every single year and this year is no different of course.
Great of the game such as Borg and McEnroe insist Murray can finally do it this time, no question. Nadal has a suspected foot injury and Murray has a niggle with his hip, and his ankle but i don’t think either are making any excuses!
Most say that if Murray wins this one, then he will go on to win a few grand slam titles. The confidence of winning a big one will transform him and his confidence levels.
Thats the big thing of course, confidence and knowing deep down you can do it!
That’s the big thing for you too, and many of you keep telling me the same thing all the time. You managed to do it once, or even twice and you can’t work out why you can’t get into great shape anymore.
The problem comes when you aren’t willing to be honest with yourself anymore.
Are you really eating now the way you were when you were in top shape? Are you really that disciplined anymore and are you willing to make the sacrifices on food and alcohol you once were? Come on be honest with this question!!!!
What about your exercise levels? Do you find it easier now to cancel workouts at a drop of a hat? Have you stopped putting challenges into your workouts? Are you more of a “go through the motions” type of person now? Are you striving to be the best you can be, or are you someone who claims that walking the dog is “more than enough exercise?!!!!!
Serious questions have to be asked if you are not getting closer to your goals anymore, it doesn’t matter if it takes a long time, as long as you are moving in the right direction, then you and i should be happy with that.
Murray in fairness has worked hard to get closer to his goals of winning a grand slam title, and is almost there. The question is can he go one step further and the other big question is are you moving closer to your dream of being in great shape and having outstanding health, which should always go together of course!!!!
