Roger Federer has natural talent in tennis but also has a growth mindset, believing that his abilities can be further developed through effort. A growth mindset is the understanding that intelligence and talent can increase with effort over time, rather than being fixed, which has contributed to Federer's long and successful career in tennis. A growth mindset alone does not guarantee success and should not be seen as a quick solution or way to avoid failure.
