If you read my About short bio, you will find that it is stated that I only do things one way: The Right Way. This begs the question: What does doing things “The Right Way” mean?

A few weeks ago Novak Djokovic was disqualified from the US Open for hitting a lines person with a ball, in what was perceived as an accidental yet reckless behavior. I recorded a video about the incident that you can watch on my YouTube channel, and I would say I did a very good job of approaching the incident and showing what “The Right Way” is and how it could have applied to this particular occasion.

We have rules and laws in our society and generally speaking, we should abide to them. However, before rules and laws, fair judgement should always prevail, and this is when doing things “The Right Way” matters. Rather than looking at the disqualification of Djokovic as a punctual event, we should take a look at the larger picture of the conditions and variables surrounding the incident, and ask questions like: Did our rules hold applicable for the incident? Were the rules able to clearly justify the consequences of the incident, or do they need to be revised? And more importantly, are the rules that are in place able to prevent a similar incident from happening in the future? The Right Way is looking at all of these variables and acting accordingly.

Essentially, in my video I not only analyze the incident, but what could be done in order to avoid finding ourselves in the same situation two or five years from now. That is what doing things The Right Way means.
