    Rick, really glad you took this question on in a bit more detail. After seeing thousands of players you have a good intuition on who has potential (thus time and finances), sounded like everything just felt "right". Additionally at the time female tennis hadn't seen that type of athlete.

    You and Richard. They can make a movie just about your relationship. You and the William family were a perfect match.

    There's a ton of coaches that didn't see the potential. I bet they're kicking themselves in the rear end. But when you think about it, it took a specific person that could deal with Richard and have the insight to see them as more than investment.

    This man is too kind. Unreal. There was no guarantee he would recover a dime. God will surely repay him.

      @@JustinPayton-ex4hc Do you know the details of the deal? From what I understand, Rick got the short end of the stick a bit. Richard used him to get big enough they could go out on their own to cut Rick out of the original contract. Basically, forcing Rick to take a small payout and so they could break up the contract and leave. At the time I don't think Rick had a strong hand because of the shady deal the Williams were playing and actively trying to break the original contract that favored Ricks long term payback. Doubtful we will ever know the details, but it seems the Williams took advantage of Rick. I can guarantee that if Rick did a tell all book on how he was done dirty by the Williams it would sell millions. But it might tarnish his reputation and maybe called sour or some Bull$hit.

    Trust, connection and feeling comfortable are rear traits in very few leaders. Macci and Richard Williams are one of a kind...

    Imagine If he had coached them from 4 or 5. Venus would have been unbeatable. She was the second best player over the past 20 years, and she’s not really charged her game.

      Respectfully…She’s the GOAT. She has the most grand slams in tennis history. She’s the best player in the open era. If she’s second who was the best you’ve seen?

    Ricki Macci. I love you baby. yes I do. You are a such deep soul another strong believer and a visionary yourself. May you prosper babe, and May the Lord bless the hard working you put into Williams hands. I don't care wether you got paid for what you got promised ahead from the William family, what I am telling you is that the blessing of God Jehova will be after you all days of your life. And guess what, wether you coach my daughter or not but I am gonna bless you back myself because you deserve it! God bless you abundantly
