If you haven’t seen it yet, I’d encourage you to set aside some quality time (without any interruptions) to watch the a documentary about Rafa Nadal’s life which is streamed on Netflix. In a world obsessed with instant success and immediate gratification, the documentary serves as a powerful reminder of what true greatness really means. Far from being a mere round-up of trophies, the series lays bare the price of excellence: suffering, self-doubt, iron discipline and a competitive mindset that turns pain into fuel. Watching it has moved me; it has taken me back to those afternoons of glory (and also of suffering) spent watching Rafa’s matches with my father. This documentary encourages us to reflect on universal values in a Spain that needs solid role models.
