The Brazilian, Lucas Campagnolo, is also a philosopher. And his words are not insignificant. The 25rd player in the world is going through a difficult period with a defeat in the first round of the Paris Major last week. On his Instagram page, he shared a reflection entitled White or black.
"I serve and I have a match point In my favor, thousands of thoughts cross my mind. How do I approach it? Do I go all in? Do I stay cautious? A small decision, fast, in seconds, which makes everything White or black.
If I succeed, everything is White, everything is beautiful and everyone is happy. But if I miss and then lose the match, everything becomes Black. Everything I worked for hours, weeks before, and on the day of the match, is no longer of any use to you. In the end, you lost.
When do you feel this thin line between white and black in life, outside of sport? professional decisions, opportunities to improve your life? If you take them correctly, in many cases you can become millionaire, if you fail, in others you can lose everything.
Source such a fine line but at the same time so dangerous, isn't it? But it was just a point, some say, or just a decision. The most important for many and for others just one more point or decision.
I wish we could see less black and white and add some Grey , because in sport as in life, everything is neither perfect nor complete chaos.”
Franck Binisti discovered padel at the Club des Pyramides in 2009 in the Paris region. Since then, padel has been part of his life. You often see him touring France to cover major French padel events.
