Welcome to The Inspired Teacher Podcast! In today's episode, we're diving into a powerful message from tennis legend Roger Federer, who delivered a memorable commencement speech at Dartmouth University in June 2024. Federer reminded us that perfection is impossible—even the greatest tennis players lose nearly half of the points they play. His advice? Focus on the next point. This episode explores how we can apply that mindset to our daily lives as educators, reminding ourselves that progress, not perfection, is the key to success both in the classroom and beyond.
