The Wimbledon finals featured four highly-focused athletes.
In the women’s finals, Serena Williams defeated big sister Venus.
In the men’s, Roger Federer outlasted Andy Roddick.
The men’s was a classic, the longest major tournament on record.
Andy and Roger battled for more than four hours in July heat.
Our son Mark and I met Serena and Andy earlier this year.
They were in South Carolina for a fund-raiser for charity.
We had heard criticism of the Williams sisters.
They were interested in things other than tennis, the critics said.
Well, why not? You can’t play championship tennis all your life.
Having other interests has not blunted the sisters’ focus.
"Never give up and always keep fighting," Serena said.
"It’s a good lesson, not just in sports, but in life as well."
They beat the best women players in the world last week.
Together they have won Wimbledon seven times.
The point is that you can be the best and have other interests.
You can have balance in life and still excel at what you do.
Life can be a smorgasbord. Make the most of it.
