Camden Riviere, born in 1987, is a left-handed American Real Tennis player and current world champion. He first claimed the world title in 2016 and has since regained it twice, most recently in 2022. Camden, who started playing at age 5, has been ranked world number one since 2013, winning multiple international titles. In 2017, the South Carolina General Assembly honoured Camden for his 2016 World Championship victory, celebrating his outstanding achievements in Real Tennis. He is also known for his legendary 2017 World Doubles Championship, where he and his partner made a stunning comeback, winning five consecutive sets to clinch the title.

In this episode of Martial Attitude Voice, Camden reveals to us the long journey that he undertook to become World Champion, but most importantly to be World Champion for all these years, and what it entailed for his physical and psychological preparation. The task is now to become the Champion of himself, and to work on reinforcing the strongest of motivations he could possibly have ever imagined to need.
