One Minute Video Below (Humor)

Is this video of Roger Federer real or not? What this has to do with education is pretty thin other than seeing someone in action who put in his "10,000 hours", the fact that we're tennis-obsessed here and just needed an excuse. The U.S. Open Tennis Championship tourney is right around the corner . . .

For more about the 10,000 hours and a related story, see The Daily Riff's "Fires Of The Mind: Youth Motivation & Mastery - What Does It Take To Get Really Good At Something?"

Video Below: The William Tell fun starts at about the 30 second mark . . .
