I lived in a town of 400 until I was like nine or ten. My dad coached all the sports - he was a gym teacher and health teacher for grades K-12.

We coaches have to learn how to deal with that: How do I get to each one best - with a talk with video analysis? And what sort of tone? We need our own coaches for that. The sports psychologist coaches me too.

Tennis is not like other sports where the coach is hired by an independent entity and that makes a huge difference in the dynamic.

I think sometimes when it comes to sports and especially relationships between players and coaches that people lose track lose a sense of reality.

I liked the energy of cooking the action the camaraderie. I often compare the kitchen to sports and compare the chef to a coach. There are a lot of similarities to it.

The fewer rules a coach has the fewer rules there are for players to break.

I had a vocal coach. It's a sad thing but I had to hire someone so that I could get my Australian accent back.

You know what I have noticed? And this is really sad. Flying first class is less scary than flying coach. They speak to you and they're so nice to you and they want to help you and they know you want a drink before the plane takes off. And they bring it to you without asking. If you're sitting in coach and hoping for a drink good luck.

I love my relationship with Coach Vermeil because it is one of the few genuine relationships that I have.

What I learned from directing I learned from soccer where it's like a coach-player relationship.
