Raphael Nadal’s sister Maribel recently reacted to a promotional video for the Rafa Nadal Academy (RNA).
RNA was established in 2016 by the Spaniard himself in his hometown Manacor. Maribel heads the marketing and sales department of the
academy. Carlo Moya, and Toni Nadal are some of the big names enlisted as coaches at the facility. Carlos Alcaraz, Casper Ruud, and Jaume Munur are a few noteworthy
alumni.
Recently, RNA released new promotional material narrated by Rafael Nadal in Spanish, with subtitles in English. The tennis icon shared many important
life lessons in the advertisement for his academy.
“Real Success is not victory, but everything you have done to achieve it. I always work with one goal in mind: to improve as a person and also as a person. This for me is the important thing. If you don’t have the humility to listen to the things you don’t like, then it’s very difficult for you to keep on the right track. Defeat and victory are part of our life. We live with it every day and we have to accept both equally. Failure is only you if you don’t know how to get up and fight back. In this life, attitude is fundamental. Losing is not my enemy, the fear of losing is my enemy. The most important thing is to believe in yourself and try to be your best every day. I have always trained at the highest level, at the highest intensity and that makes me better prepared for the most challenging moments,” he said.
