Most people on this forum will be like “uhhh a fat guy teaching me how to lose weight?! Wtf!!”
And that’s wrong.
Nick Bollettieri is the greatest tennis coach in history. Produced over 10 grand slam champions, including the likes of Agassi, Williams sisters, Sharapova, and so on.
And he knew nothing about tennis. Never played professionally.
“Baby, I don’t know half of what most coaches know about pronation, turning hips and shoulders, the dynamics of the stroke, centrifugal force. Shit, I don’t know any of that.”
“All I know is that I wanted to be a winner and with winners.”
That’s what he said.
Which is why I’ve always told people who wanted to go coach to do it. Stop waiting to “be a pro” first. Stop waiting to get results for yourself first. Being a pro and being a good teacher are two entirely different things.
If you prefer being the teacher, start teaching. Get results for your students. That’s what matters.
