Yesterday, history was made at the all England tennis club at Wimbledon. In an Epic match between Rodger Federer and Andy Roddick which lasted over 4hours, Federer was able to defeat Roddick to win his 15th gram slam, surpassing Pete Sampras.

The 2009 gentleman’s championship is a match that will be remember for years to come. Not only was its Federer 15th gram slam but this match was the longest match and the longest 5th set in Grand Slam finals history in terms of games.There were other great tennis players like Pete Sampras, Rod Laver and Bjorn Borg all here to watch this phenomenal final and witness a great champion celebrate his achievement.

What I truly admire about this game is the fact that these great players - Federer, McEnroe, Sampras, Agazzi, Graff, Navaratalove, are all great ambassadors for the sport of tennis. Even if you are not a tennis fan or player you would still know about these players and evidentially what happened yesterday at Wimbledon because these past players have made us recognize this sport.

Ambassadors of all levels in life like sport, business, health and fitness, family life are important. Those that are the ambassadors need to always be ahead of the rest, be ruthless and be role models for the competitors and their own company/family/community. I feel very privilege to be about of a company that is the forerunner in the fitness world and an ambassor for our communities and the health and fitness industry in general. We are ruthless, we are creating opportunities and we are setting the bar at level for other companies to reach to.
