Good Twitter thread IMHO. Andy Roddick Sascha Bajin, Wayne Ferreira (sourced).
Roddick: "I’m always amazed at the frequency of seeing people who didn’t work that hard in their playing days becoming coaches. Seems like effort is the one thing that would be a prerequisite for coaching ……. Would be hard to hire someone who had a reputation as kinda lazy"
Sascha: "For me it was so hard to be disciplined towards myself and I wasn’t that competitive as a player, that’s why I never achieved anything. It’s easier to say no to a party knowing I don’t want to disappoint my player with a bad warm up, rather then warming up for my own match."
Roddick: "Hard to imagine you as undisciplined."
FedFan quotes Wayne Ferrera, now Tiafoe's coach via USOpen,org: ""I think I helped him because I played and I went through the issues of being relatively talented and being lazy,"
Roddick: "This is actually a great counter. Wayne has done such a good job w Foe. Only difference is that Wayne speaks from a place of having figured it out at some point ….. he has a base for comparison. Someone who started lazy and finished lazy doesn’t have that same attribute. They’ve just always been lazy"
