- 4:48Speaker 1: listening to taking Stock with Kathleen Hayes and Pim Fox
- 4:52Speaker 1: on Bloomberg Radio live at the US Open here in
- 4:56Speaker 1: Fleshing Meadow, Corona Park, Queens. I'm Kathleen Hayes Pim Fox
- 5:00Speaker 1: vacation this week, but you know I'm not even noticing
- 5:02Speaker 1: because I have a tennis legend sitting down with me
- 5:05Speaker 1: now to talk about the passion and the business of
- 5:09Speaker 1: training champions. Nick Bolletary almost needs no introduction, the founder
- 5:14Speaker 1: of the famous IMG Tennis Academy down in Florida. Uh.
- 5:17Speaker 1: He is a man who has worked with Andrea Augustly,
- 5:21Speaker 1: Monica Sellis and so many many more. Nick, welcome back
- 5:24Speaker 1: to the show. Well, I always look forward to this
- 5:27Speaker 1: and I'm trying to get a tip power to make
- 5:28Speaker 1: you a little bit more money without having to be
- 5:31Speaker 1: on the tennis cod Well, then you just got to
- 5:33Speaker 1: listen to taking stock every single day on Bloomberg Gradio
- 5:37Speaker 1: and I'm sure you'll pick up more than enough ideas.
- 5:39Speaker 1: In terms of your work over the years, how has
- 5:44Speaker 1: it changed in the sense of was it different when
- 5:46Speaker 1: you first started out, what you coached people on, how
- 5:49Speaker 1: you have how you had to work with them, compared
- 5:51Speaker 1: to where it is now. Seems like every sport the
- 5:53Speaker 1: level of play has escalated, and there's a reason why
- 5:59Speaker 1: all this bots to become more physical physical physically, yes,
- 6:04Speaker 1: you can have talent, but you also have to be
- 6:07Speaker 1: physically strong, mentally strong, and then have a team. You
- 6:12Speaker 1: need a team. But the game has changed because equipment
- 6:16Speaker 1: has changed the whole outlook. Twenty years ago, you can
- 6:20Speaker 1: get away with a weakness Today, you can't get away
- 6:24Speaker 1: with weakness two shots that they thought were taboo to
- 6:29Speaker 1: drop shot, swinging volley of two big weapons today. But
- 6:33Speaker 1: to be a top professional you cannot have a weakness.
- 6:39Speaker 1: This is why Djokovic sort of fits in the category.
- 6:43Speaker 1: He does everything extremely well, but you cannot have a
- 6:48Speaker 1: weakness in professional damnis today. Well, that's your job then,
- 6:52Speaker 1: to make sure that from the the youngest ages kids
- 6:57Speaker 1: are strong, kids have their basics. Else, one of my
- 7:00Speaker 1: colleagues here on a Bloomberg Radio team has a needs
- 7:03Speaker 1: in Israel who at the age of nine is already
- 7:05Speaker 1: training four hours a day. I don't know whether that's
- 7:08Speaker 1: right though. If you look at Richard Williams, he trained
- 7:13Speaker 1: his daughters, did not let them play any tune into
- 7:15Speaker 1: the thirteen and fourteen years old. Oh, Serena and Venus
- 7:18Speaker 1: is dad, that's great friend of mine. Remember that, Jimmy
- 7:23Speaker 1: Connors said many years ago. It's not the quantity of practice,
- 7:27Speaker 1: is the quality of practice. So just because you put
- 7:31Speaker 1: in four to six hours a day, that doesn't mean
- 7:35Speaker 1: you're going to reach higher levels. It's constructive practice. And
- 7:38Speaker 1: at eight years old, the bones tissues have not grown together.
- 7:44Speaker 1: You have to be very, very careful. So what kind
- 7:47Speaker 1: of investment does a parent have to assume they're going
- 7:51Speaker 1: to make if they have a kid who that you
- 7:53Speaker 1: know that you give me a tennis racket as a
- 7:55Speaker 1: as a little one, and they swing it and they
- 7:57Speaker 1: love it, and you see the talent and you you
- 8:00Speaker 1: want to invest in that kids talent? How investment is it?
- 8:05Speaker 1: Why is America lacked in in top players in the
- 8:08Speaker 1: last few years. But right now Martin Blackman and the
- 8:12Speaker 1: U s c A. But Katrina Adams, they have a
- 8:16Speaker 1: great group of youngsters coming up. It's expensive here when
- 8:21Speaker 1: I was at when I started in the Qulitary Tennis Academy.
- 8:25Speaker 1: Now the i MG WE scholarship a lot of people
- 8:29Speaker 1: tennis is very, very expensive. That's why the U s
- 8:33Speaker 1: c A is helping them. I MG helps certain players
- 8:38Speaker 1: the course today for youngsters saying they're not gonna go
- 8:42Speaker 1: to college, but they're going to go out and tour
- 8:45Speaker 1: with a coach, playing twenty ten thousand dollar events, one
- 8:50Speaker 1: hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Today's sponsor is not like
- 8:56Speaker 1: they used to be. You played his racket, you play
- 8:59Speaker 1: his clothes. You're very selective today. You'll have to be
- 9:04Speaker 1: in the top seventy or eighty of the world to
- 9:08Speaker 1: make some money. It's not that easy there. Okay. On
- 9:11Speaker 1: the men's side, gotta ask you. We've got no vot Djokovic,
- 9:14Speaker 1: We've got Andy Murray, rof Nadal's playing off the well
- 9:16Speaker 1: for guys knees have been so beaten up. And watch
- 9:18Speaker 1: out there for that man down from Brazil there, I
- 9:21Speaker 1: mean the big del Portro. And look at Chilick. Last
- 9:25Speaker 1: year at the US Open, played two of the greatest
- 9:28Speaker 1: semifinals and finals in the history of the Open. You
- 9:31Speaker 1: want to sleep for a year, But he's awake now
- 9:34Speaker 1: he's off the charts. How he's playing Grigary's themed. You
- 9:38Speaker 1: have a lot of good place Kanishikori, but right now
- 9:44Speaker 1: Djokovic and Murray probably have to be considered the favorites.
- 9:52Speaker 1: Pas Thrina Williams, she's playing. I saw a practice today.
- 9:56Speaker 1: I waved to her. She has an outstanding coach Patrick.
- 9:59Speaker 1: She's needs to be healthy again. And if she plays
- 10:03Speaker 1: like she did coming out in that first round she
- 10:07Speaker 1: was on fire. She will break Steffie's ranking. So who
- 10:11Speaker 1: could beat her among the women? Who would you say
- 10:13Speaker 1: she better watch out for? You know, in today's you
- 10:18Speaker 1: cannot say the top dogs will win. You have the
- 10:22Speaker 1: rabbits and the ladies have Gerbert Muca, rose Halle have
- 10:27Speaker 1: several good players that if the top dogs let up
- 10:32Speaker 1: just a little bit, they could be beaten there well,
- 10:36Speaker 1: and maybe if they had a coach like Nick Bolletary unstoppable.
- 10:41Speaker 1: Thank you so much. And by the way, I have
- 10:43Speaker 1: a new site called nick voluntary dot Com. It's ten
- 10:46Speaker 1: dollars for the whole year. How to greet your children,
