How Diego Moyano Coached Fritz, Tiafoe & Paul to Excel

Key Points

• 1 . “Mutual Respect” between players and coaches is vital
• 2. “Work Ethic” - Both the player and the coach have to be willing to “go the extra mile”, with the coach leading by example in terms of work ethic
• 3. “Process Oriented” - To achieve something you need to be focused on the day in day out process of getting better
• 4. “Tell the truth” - honesty around strengths and weaknesses and what players need to work on to improve
• 5. “Knowledge and preparation” - Coaches should always be looking to constantly improve in every different aspect of developing players
• 6. “Discipline” for coaches and players
• 7. “Independent Problem Solvers” Tennis creates independent problem solvers that are not afraid to fail in life or tennis
• 8. “Don’t Overcoach” and dictate to the player exactly what they should do; ask questions and help them solve problems and figure things out themselves
