But the problem with coaching is that it is a full-time job. By that I mean for at least 40 weeks in a year you have to be with the player, either travelling or training. Right now I don't want to do that.

I always liked serve-and-volley players and big athletes.

Safin, in his way, is very talented. It is a joy to watch them play; it is tennis of a very high quality.

Roddick can challenge him as well if he serves big consistently for the entire match. If he does that, then he is tough to break even for a guy like Federer.

But, then, Sampras won Wimbledon six times and that automatically puts him among the greatest.

Now that I have retired, and even though I wanted to play more, I can always look back and say that at least I won Wimbledon; also, winning the tournament in Rotterdam in 1995.

I may have exaggerated a bit when I said that 80 per cent of the top 100 women are fat pigs. What I meant to say was 75 per cent of the top 100 women are fat pigs.

But Pete had the desire to play at the highest level for so many years. That is very difficult, mentally.

There are a lot of good memories, and because I was injured, during the rehab, I met my wife. The tennis was very good but the injuries were good for something too.

But in 2000, the injuries really started to kick in and my elbow gave a lot of problems. At the end of the year I had to take 20 months off before I could come back into the game.

Hewitt is such a fighter on the court; he never gives up. They all have qualities to beat him.

I don't think anybody was ever up 6-2 and would lose the tiebreaker.

But the problem with coaching is that it is a full-time job. By that I mean for at least 40 weeks in a year you have to be with the player, either travelling or training. Right now I don't want to do that.

Roddick has good presence on the court and has so much adrenalin.

Federer can be the best ever; he has the potential. The only question is whether he has the desire.

My father's coaching Misha and I just might help from time to time.

But, then again, I had to stop because there was too much pain or too much trouble. After I retired I still had one more elbow surgery just to be able to do normal things.

Maybe, one other match better; but if you look at the tournament as a whole, I played very high quality tennis for seven matches and raised my game when I needed to.

I was serving good but was returning especially well, which was a weakness in my game. So not only was I serving well, but I was also breaking these other guys, and they felt the pressure.

For the first couple of years I played really bad tennis. It was so bad that they booed me off the court.

Contrasting styles is always the most fun to watch.

Guys like John McEnroe, Bjorn Borg and Stefan Edberg were also very good grass court players.

The better the coaching has become, the worse the game has become.

It is time for everyone to sit down - the NCAA, the NBA, the players union and the coaching fraternity - and come up with suitable solutions to these problems.

I want to see if the player communicates with his teammates and how he responds to coaching. Another thing to remember is players' bodies can develop better than their skills.

Well, I think it's pretty much established that I just didn't have any interest in coaching in the pros.

I love to promote our sport. I love grass-roots tennis. I love coaching. I love all parts of the sport. I love the business side.

I had a lot of coaching for the movie and no, I have never sung professionally before.

Coaching in the NBA is not easy. It's like a nervous breakdown with a paycheck.

Coaching really is an individual philosophy.

Well my thoughts on American swimming are that our prospects look favorable, but we may not have as strong a showing in the gold medal count as in previous Olympics. But I am not coaching.

Players suffer coaching changes all the time; it's life in the NFL.

If I were going to stay in coaching, I would have stayed right there because I was totally happy.

I could stay in Germany and start my coaching career there. I did not want to.

My job, when it comes to free agency, trades, is not to pick players, but support the personnel department and the coaching staff. We have to have the financial resources to make things happen and that's my job.

I think I've got an outstanding defensive assistant staff that's really going to help us have consistent, strong defenses. And offensively, we have an excellent staff. We've got some younger guys on offense, but that's what I coach and have my entire coaching career.

We probably spend more time talking about individual players in our coaching sessions than anything else.

And, coaching has never been an option for me.

Selecting the right person for the right job is the largest part of coaching.

So I don't really believe that how many years you've had in the league determines how well your players play... Coaching is coaching.

Coaching is easy. Winning is the hard part.

I find young kids. I enjoy coaching and enjoy making them better players.

At the same time, it makes me feel like I have to prove myself to the new guys coming in as well as prove myself to the coaching staff, which is a good bit of motivation for me.

Never be possessive. If a female friend lets on that she is going out with another man, be kind and understanding. If she says she would like to go out with the Dallas Cowboys, including the coaching staff, the same rule applies.

But with the right kind of coaching and determination you can accomplish anything and the biggest accomplishment that I feel I got from the film was overcoming that fear.

Geez, I just played cricket because I loved the game. I never thought about it much, never really had any formal coaching.

We draft mostly high school kids and we have one of the finest, if not the finest, player development programs and coaching staffs and we teach our players the right way to play. We also have a game plan in scouting, and there are certain types of players that we look for.

Coaching is nothing more than eliminating mistakes before you get fired.

But the problem with coaching is that it is a full-time job. By that I mean for at least 40 weeks in a year you have to be with the player, either travelling or training. Right now I don't want to do that.
