I have followed Andy Murray’s career, and his emotional journey, since he first burst onto the scene as a gangly teenager. This year will be his last as a professional tennis player, and he will leave behind so many great stories, and great lessons, and not just relating to Tennis. I am leaving this previous post here, as I think it is still hugely relevant, and I want to thank Andy for all the entertainment, thrills and sheer drama, he has served up over all these years.

Recognise the fact that the past is past, and that soon you won’t have any future left – so you really might as well be here. It’s not so bad. Often enough, it’s wonderful. And in any case, there’s nowhere else to be.”   Oliver Burkeman
