A Banach space X is said to have property (Sm) if every metrically convex set A ⊂ X which lies on the unit sphere and has diameter not greater than one can be (weakly) separated from zero by a functional. We show that this geometrical condition is closely connected with the fixed point property for nonexpansive mappings in superreflexive spaces.
