CANNES — Serena Williams’ former coach emphasized the importance of an athlete’s mental health over skill set.
“I think it’s more about mental than anything else. Of course we need to work on the forehand, the backhand, the serve — all the things that are tennis things,” Patrick Mouratoglou told Page Six on Monday at Stagwell Sport Beach during the Cannes Lions festival.
“I think most of my job is to help them develop as people and become as confident as they can become in their ability to achieve what they’re dreaming to achieve.”
