| Coach Toni set three ground rules if he was going to train the young Nadal:
- If you ever throw a racket, we're finished. They're expensive, and when you throw a racket, you don't just disrespect the sport, you disrespect all the people who can't afford equipment.
- Losing is part of competing. You will lose. And when you lose, it's not going to be my fault or the fault of your racket or the balls or the courts or the weather. It's your fault, and you will accept it and try to do better next time.
- Have fun. When you stop enjoying this, it's no good. You'll find something else that gives you pleasure.
