Novak Djokovic is one of the most mentally strong athletes in the world.
But it wasn't always like this. In the early stages of his career he was psychologically weaker and would crumble during high pressure moments in matches.
But everything changed in 2011 when he went on one of Tennis' greatest runs every, which included winning three Grand Slam titles.
So what changed? Well this video explores the secrets behind Novak's mental resilience, which includes techniques you can also apply to your own craft to reach peak performance.
*****
As much as I adore Nadal, I admire Nole's absolute steel mental resilience. He has not received half the love which Rafa and Roger have received but still he competes and managed to beat them in many great games. Huge respect for him, probably the most harshly treated sportsperson of all time.
Very true! He's had to deal with so many crowds being against him or favouring his opponent. Takes a different level of mentality to deal with that and still dominate
@@SamMartinPeakPerformance It's bcz of people think Serbia was the initiator of world war one that gave birth to Hitler and world war two.... He always played final against centre court of Wimbledon it is bcz of Britishers burn to Serbia. But what is the Djokovic role in all these issues.... answer is nothing.. But they burn lot....this is Djokovic power to slap them on their own court to win Wimbledon 7 times. ❤️🙏🙏 love from India.
@silentmotivation5953 He grew up when Serbia 🇷🇸 was bombed by NATO. That is why he is so resilient. The British Tennis Association 🎾 wanted him to become British. His parents refused the offer and the perks associated with him. This man has integrity. He is treated like a blackman because he is Serbian.
Roger fan here. No one has the mental strength and game focus as tough, solid and rock as of Novak's. What is even more remarkable is his ability to REMOVE all noises from the society, politics, cheering & rooting for opponents and focus ONLY on the game. The BIGGEST enemy you need to fight is with YOU & SILENCE is the MOST powerful weapon!! That being said, I wont be surprised if he wins slams even in his 40s.
Thanks for sharing - think you're bang on
That you very much from Serbia! ❤
Love Novak’s reserve and decorum as well. What a great strategy to imagine the crowd was chanting Novak instead of his opponent 👏🏻. Novak has always been my favourite especially when he answered our Australian Government in the best possible 💪😂
He is very strong willed indeed!
As a big Federer fan and still upset over that 2019 final, the utmost credit has to be given to Djokovic's mental fortitude in order to save 2 match points and win that match. His resilience leaves me speechless sometimes. Thanks for making this video!
Absolutely - there are certain things that can be said about Novak but no one can deny that mental fortitude you mention 💪
Great job, man. Novak’s mental strength is impressive!
absolutely - and not outrightly the most dominant male player in history 👏
He has to be the mentally strongest sportsperson of all time. Tennis is a lonely sport and he has bounced back and won so many times against all odds. Kudos to him for that. He will certainly go down as the greatest Tennis player to have ever lived until the day he retires (whether people like it or not).
Fantastic video! Definitely one of the best mindsets in sports right now
Cheers Bryce 👍

What else do you think makes Djokovic so mentally tough?
He has an absolute unreal Self Belief in his abilities. He was said to be delusional when he said he believes can beat Rafa at Roland Garros (which at that point was thought to be impossible) after the 2006 RG semi final and he did manage to beat Rafa twice at RG.
He is Serb right? And that make him Slavs. I think it is just in him. Something I always ponder about. And perhaps playing too much RPG. I'm not talking about the woo science of the 19th and 20th century for "superior" race but I do believe that some just have enate abilities.
@@azizanputra He is just built different 😅 for sure
Great video Sam... I would like to think process goals and some good old self talk also played a role... It seems so simple that just being able to focus on the moment improves performance, but it's hard to achieve isn't it?
@@ashleygraaff3091 absolutely. Focus on the process and the results takes care of themselves 💪

@@SamMartinPeakPerformance phenomenal as usual. Keep going,you’re helping more people than you might think❤️
3:37
I think the secret of Djokovic is that he focused on his work instead of making youtube videos about how to succeed in order to make views...
In addition to that, he probably didn't watch videos on how to succeed and comment on those videos 👍
@@SamMartinPeakPerformance 😅
@@SamMartinPeakPerformance Nice clap back
Do you know the history, circomstances and records of Rod Laver ?. And with more concurrence. There was Big Ten players all of them first class. Rod Laver was forbidden as every Profesionals to play the Grand Slams from 1962 until 1969. In 1963 he went to profesionnals because then the GS had nó money prize, and he and the bests had to earn their lives from tennis. This absurd was abolished in 1968 opening the tournaments to all the players, hence their name OPEN. LAVER won in 1962 all the 4 GS and once OPEN...in 1969 all the 4 GS again. In 1967 he had won also all the 4 GS Pro for profesionals, where all the best players played. 2+1 Calendar GS. Djoko has got none. Laver has won 184 tournaments and Djoko...94. ¿ How many GS, in adition to his 11 official, would have Laver won between 1962-69, if he was allowed to play them, all this years that he was number 1 ? ¿ 30 ? ¿ more ?. But he is humble, not like Djoko. Tennis history is 150 years old and unknown. People today only talk about the Big Three.
Laver couldnt win one game against Novak
Altough I respect him as a person, I recently lost respect for djokovic as a person after his comments on the treatment of serbs in Kosovo. See, I am part Bosnian, and Serbians committed GENOCIDE on my people, and have been mistreating others for decades. And while I don’t thimk Serbs should be mistreated, I don’t think Serbs are really in the right to complain about that stuff after what they put others through.
