The name that interests me today is a Spanish Tennis Champion but not the greatest one, that other one called Carlos Moya.  The question today is if a coach can make a difference late in life.  As Nadal won the La Decima, a term we most think of when we think of Real Madrid, there were a few noticeable changes to Nadal's game that are worth me reflecting upon.

Observing Rafael Nadal is not for me an exercise in fan worship or an exercise in idol worship, I do not look to any person as being a God or whatever idolatry that people now practice in this superficial age of personal branding.  What I am witnessing in Rafa Nadal is the possibilities within physical intelligence which shows me that none of us do it alone.  That is perhaps the biggest lesson I am taking away from watching, observing and appreciating Nadal's game.  There are lessons on the coaching front that should now not be lost on me - because late in life this is not about gaining a second wind - but to know that one's life story is not complete, there are chapters still yet to be written, just as I am watching Nadal write new chapters to a story that may well now define him and spur him on to be finally recognized as the greatest of all time in the professional game that today is called Tennis.

Think of differently, Carlos Moya coached Canadian Milos Raonic and moved up the rankings before parting with in December 2016. Andy Murray has already said that Moya is instrumental in adding to Nadal's game. Djokovic and Murray have both hit a funk. With Nadal finding new gears under Moya, that blocks the path for Djokovic and Andy Murray also stands in that pathway. Even if Federer does not raise his game anymore, Murray still can and Nadal definitely has. Think of how many grand-slams Nadal could win between now and the age of 35 when (the way he is looking now) will still be a force to contend with. These four years is exactly the years Djokovic needed to catch Federer and Nadal. He will surpass Sampras's record and maybe even Federer's but Nadal has found a new lease of life and even despite his lost years in injury and self-doubt, the way he played in the French Open Final was out of this world - a performance that can only be spoken of in terms of best tennis player ever - and that without counting his probable march to surpass Federer as the player with the most grand-slam victories. I can only remember the days we marveled at Sampras, and we are living in a time when we have three players that can now be argued are much better than Sampras. Think of frustration that Djokovic must now feel seeing the improvement in Nadal's game and KNOWING that this phenom is now going to get better at his game ! Even Andy Murray has noted that.
