“There are characteristics that I always look for in a coach:
1. Kindness
It’s hard to work with someone who is not kind—in many fields—not just tennis.
2. Empathy
Closeness is not incompatible with discipline. It’s fundamental that a kid feels the warmth of a coach. It’s determinant.
3. Body Language
A passive coach who stands by the fence or sits in a chair—players feel that. That coach won’t motivate the player.”
—Toni Nadal
