Tennis has been my life since I was 4 years old. I wanted to be a professional tennis player but my parents wanted me to study, because they felt that it was a much less risky option.

More quotes by Patrick Mouratoglou

What I always do is stay calm, listen, look and take the time to understand and analyse. As soon as I feel I have enough information, I come up with a plan.

I also particularly enjoy the trust that develops between player and coach and the impact the coach can have on the player’s results.

I love how each player brings totally different challenges to coaching. If the goal is always to make them better at winning matches, we have to find a different path to get there every time.

A coach and player relationship is based on motivation. Sometimes though, the player shows fear (of failure for example) and their behaviour reflects this. As coaches, we have to understand that by helping to overcome stress, the player’s real motivation will start to show again.
