Carter,
I know we are not big tennis players in this family, but you can just as easily substitute soccer for tennis when you read this.
Excellent advice from one of the best athletes in the world. Give this a read!

Dad
P.S. This is a very smart man: “Pay attention to all your parents do and take notes. It’ll come in handy one day when you have a couple of boys of your own.”
Enrichment Notes
A father shares Pete Sampras’s Players Tribune letter with his son Carter, using it as a vehicle to discuss how the people around you shape who you become. The core message emphasizes observing and learning from parents and mentors, with the payoff compounding over a lifetime. The note is personal and familial in nature, with no direct bearing on any of the firm’s current equity theses.
