what a gentlemen. you can see his love of tennis and passion. thanks for interviewing him GQ. thanks for coming man
They portrayed him well in the movie.
such a fun video! awesome interview
What a fake comment
Venus! 😮
As a father of two daughters, this story is insane. I’m very humbled by Richard Williams and only hope I can ever come close to being a father like him
It’s sad to know that we don’t have these kind of people anymore. Rick Marci a true coach.
Macci *
What they did, is truly incredible.
They blessed him with their presence. Anybody else could've coached but they didn't want to.
@@williampearson6299 lol
@humbleopionist4366 He adores these girls. Why you being weird?
I LOOOOOOOOVE the way Rick talks about Venus and Serena! You can tell how much he respects and love them! King Richard did an AMAZING job picking out the BESt coach for them!
This man is one in a million.
this guy's no tennis coach, he is a life coach.
I just watched this,pretty impressive,this guy saw the inside and the world just sees the outside,that was the difference.
What a great teacher. It’s so obvious.
This guy gives off the Tim Grover vibes. (He was MJ’s personal trainer)
Such a great interview
Thank you for this. It’s great.
Thank you for sharing this video.
Awesome information
What a couch. Legend
Wow. Thank you Rick Macci
i've never heard a world-class coach pronounce "wimbledon" wrong so many times.
He's American 🏈,🤷
Same
I don’t prefer that pronunciation but it is sometimes permitted to pronounce D like T in English. Still think it’s wrong but just saying
Great interview.
This was great.
🎾♥️💪
“I got the next 2”
So many years in the game, coached so many number 1s, stills calls them Wimbletons... lol
Great man
As great as Rick Macci is, some of this is gonna be revisionist history. "I predicted Venus would win 5 Wimbeldons'..."I could tell...bla bla bla". The reality is lots of tennis prospects have potential. And they had coaches before & after Macci. (None of these coaches ever mention the tons of prospects who they thought would be great & didnt make it)
🔥🔥🔥
Wow so cool
I thought it was 92' not 91'
Richard Williams is a businessman and Rick gave them free tennis , Vic Braden was the best coach and his book Tennis for the future is the way forward ,,,, Richard Williams loved women and has lot of ex wives and children
That’s crazy but he was still an amazing coach to his kids and worked his hardest to get his kids out of the hoods and make them the worlds greatest tennis players
You sound dumb
He knows how to change strokes… hmmm
Rick takes a lot of credit for things he didn't initiate himself. He's still stuck in opportunity land since 1991 and HE'S BEEN MILKING IT.
🌹❤️🌹❤️
This guy did not train venus and serena, king richard and his wife oracens trained them.
Yup Oracene is the secret weapon behind Serena’s serve. Oracene taught her whatever wrist flick she uses to direct her serve after disguising it.
❤
Can we talk about this self proclaimed "world tennis coach" who still says WimBELTON.
Felt really bad for the dude after what Serena did when he coached her mid-game in the US open. He at least had the dignity to admit it, while Serena went on an Oscar worthy rant
Serena Williams did nothing wrong. He shouldn't have been there.
That was not him. That was Patrick mourtalogu
@glock32 I wasn't aware trailer parkers knew how to use TH-cam. Good for you.
She wasnt coached by this guy at that US open. At the US ope she had patrick mouratoglou. This guy Macci only coached her during juniors and a bit after that.
Rick Macci hasn't been her coach since she was a child. Get a clue.
