We often fear of being fail in something—but it’s as well our greatest teacher. Every failure
is trying hard to communicate with us but we should prepare to listen it. Failure is not the
opposite of success; it is a part of success provided we learn from it and incorporate
learning’s into daily practice.
Particularly in tennis, learning to fail is essential. Every week in each tournament only one
player sail out as winner rest all tastes loss. Every missed shot, every lost match, and every
painful defeat carries within it the seeds of growth, wisdom, and strength.
To be very frank, we can learn from success as well, but normally human tendency is “अंत
भला तो सब भला “ with this approach we only celebrate success and don’t inclined to learn
from wins, as if everything we did was perfect in match we won.
Take any great athlete you admire—Serena Williams, Roger Federer, PV Sindhu, Neeraj
Chopra, or even Sachin Tendulkar. Behind every trophy and every celebration, there are
moments of doubt, loss, and heartbreak. But what made them champions was not just their
talent or hard work —but their ability to learn from failure and rise stronger every time.
Lot of players don’t learn anything from failure. The biggest wall between players and failure
is ego. This ego doesn’t allow them to learn anything from failure. They don’t take
responsibility of failure they will held anyone other than themselves responsible for failure
like weather, referee, coach, equipments, court conditions etc.
To learn from failure u need to be very honest and should have positive mindset a kind of
growth mindset. Once u change the way u look at it, u won’t fear of it.
Failure teaches us the ability to bounce back. It teaches us to stay grounded no matter how
high we rise. It shows us our weaknesses, area we need to work on or improve. Actually it
gives us a syllabus for next few weeks.
When we fail, we have great opportunity to learn. When we fail, we grow. When we fail, we
become tougher, smarter, and more focused.
So don’t fear failure. Keep one thing in mind no one is immune to failure, we should
Welcome it. Embrace it. Learn from it. Because failure is not the end of your journey—it's
just the beginning of your next big win.
Few proven examples from Real Life
Michael Jordan was cut from his high school basketball team. He later said, “I have
failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.”
Serena Williams has lost many matches but always used those defeats to fuel her
next comeback.
PV Sindhu lost several major finals before finally becoming a world champion—
each loss taught her something new.
To learn from failure or losses we need to have a process in place. This process should record
detailed unbiased observations from parents and players. Every match we play generates
huge data, we need to learn it to improve and move forward. The very first step to fix a
problem is acknowledge a problem then accepting it and then finds suitable solution to it. If
we follow this method we will fail again but will fail better.
Failure is not the end of your journey—it's just the beginning of your next big win
