From dealing with a concussion just before Wimbledon to learning how to separate self-worth from rankings, Liam opens up on the mental battles that come with life on tour. He also shares what a conversation with Pep Guardiola taught him, and why sacrifices though tough are worth it in the long run. 🗣️ 3 Key Quotes: 1. “You’ve got to be willing to make sacrifices that people don’t see.” 2. “You have to learn not to tie your self-worth to your ranking.” 3. “You don’t get to the top without a few scars.” ✅ 5 Takeaway Points: • Mental resilience is just as important as physical fitness • Sacrifices are part of long-term success • Separating identity from results is crucial for mental health • Injuries can strike at the worst times, even when you’re ready • Lessons from other sports (like football) can fuel growth in tennis This podcast is sponsored by ASICS.
