How did Roger Federer shake the world with his skill and personality?

It happened when tennis player Roger Federer visited Nike headquarters in Beaverton, Oregon, USA.

It was to try on the tennis shoes Nike made for him.

After testing the shoes, Federer left the building to move to another location within Nike headquarters for the next event.

On the way, Federer stops suddenly and says, "I have to go back." Mike Nakajima, Nike's tennis director at the time, wondered what Federer had left behind.

But Federer wasn't missing anything.

He forgot to say thank you to the people who developed the shoes for him.

Roger Federer is one of the greatest tennis players of all time. How and Why?

He has played over 1700 tour-level matches, winning 80% of these.

Federer is talented, but he has a lot of fans because he plays tennis so elegantly and beautifully.

Recently, a book about Federer has been published.

The title is 'The Master.' This is a book written by Christopher Clarey, a tennis writer for the New York Times, who has been covering Federer for the past 20 years.

Federer is arguably the best tennis player in the world. Just like how Cristiano Ronaldo is in soccer.

But he cannot be said to be an overwhelmingly superior tennis player compared to his time-matched rivals, Djokovic or Rafael Nadal.

Nevertheless, he made the most money as a tennis player of course than them.

It is even said that the wealth he has accumulated may be a bigger legacy than his performance as a player.

Reporter Clarai analyzed that Federer's personality played a part. He is an athlete, but in a way, he has a personality more suited to a politician or manager.

A player who asks the reporter his regards first

He was participating in a tennis tournament in Shanghai, China. Federer's team was gathering in his hotel room for a meeting when someone knocked on the door.

He was the Chinese teacher called by Federer. Federer and his team took 30 minutes a day to learn Mandarin during the tennis tournament.

It was because of Federer's desire to greet fans in Chinese.

Roger Federer is such a caring person.

That is also reflected in our relationships with journalists.

However, according to reporter Clarai, Federer asks about the reporter's well-being and current situation first.

And he listens to the answers and continues the conversation.

It is by no means a formal greeting.

This is really rare.

It is not easy to be considerate of reporters, especially considering the number of reporters who rush to meet celebrities.

Sponsor's favorite player 2018.

Retired tennis player Andy Roddick asked Federer a personal favor. Roddick was running a charity for an education program for low-income children, and he asked Federer to attend a charity event.

Roddick, who picked up Federer at the airport, said that Federer

"How long do you have to be?"

"When can we go back?" I thought I would ask the same question.

But Federer was different.

He asked in detail what he had to do, and what Roddick's charities did.

Then he said, "Tell me specifically. It's silly to just help kids."

Roddick knew he would have to 'accompany' Federer to the event.

However, as soon as Federer arrived at the event, he abandoned Roddick and started reaching out to strangers, introducing himself and talking about charity.

He is alone, without an agent or secretary. Federer worked hours like that.

So Federer worked nonstop until the event was over.

And it wasn't until one or two in the morning that he got back on the plane back.

Roger Federer shines through his personality when he meets his sponsors.

Sponsors agree that Federer makes him feel respected and cared for.

He never acts like he doesn't have time or makes any nuisance.

He's got a sense of authenticity from Federer.

In fact, at the Federer level, there are many cases where the sponsor is not the first, but Federer is the first.

Still, Federer listens to his sponsors wholeheartedly.

Reporter Clara says no other athlete at the Federerweight division has ever done so well.

So what sponsor wouldn't like Federer?

Federer's Authenticity Another interpretation of this is that Federer is willing and genuinely willing to do things that other players don't want to do.

So Claray explains that Federer is still in the top 10 in the world at 40 because he's willing to travel to competitions that other older players don't like, and to accept endless press conferences and interviews in multiple languages.

Of course, rustproof skills and thorough self-management are the basics.

But while there are differences in skill among the world's best players, these extra-competitive aspects are also very important.

It takes something else to build a fortune while maintaining that high level for over 20 years.

In addition to the basic requirements, including the excellent skills mentioned above.

In Federer's case, it was genuineness towards people. Because of this sincerity, fans and sponsors loved Federer, and wealth came as a result.

Authenticity is so common these days that it often sounds pretentious and meaningless. But we learn from Federer that genuine authenticity is, in fact, the key to a really necessary relationship.
