A person doesn’t just achieve class by acting professionally in their field. They also have to adopt a similar attitude in their personal lives. Many athletes have mastered that ability and Roger Federer is one of those personalities. Federer is an individual who is known for remaining calm and collected on and off the court. There have been a few instances where he lost his cool, but those seldom occur. Federer has not only inspired tennis players but players of various other sports as well.

Roger Federer’s documentaries have inspired many. One of those inspired individuals is Kevin Walters. Walters is the coach for an Australian professional rugby team, Brisbane Broncos. While Walters is happy with how his young squad is performing, he believes that there are some areas in which they can improve.

Walters said that their professionalism as a unit could improve.
“The guys are great when they are here training and in video sessions. Their recovery here is really good, but it is what they do when they are not here that we have got to get better at,” Walters told Brisbane times.
He further went on to say that he watched Roger Federer’s documentary in which he says that he didn’t know how to be professional till he was 21.
He said, “I was watching Roger Federer talk about when he was 19, 20 and 21 and he didn’t know what to do or prepare himself for a tournament, but he worked that out and turned out to be one of the greatest tennis players of all time.”
