http://www.sportingo.com/article/1001,6239 A new Williams challenge for Venus and Serena's dad Mon, Dec 24, 07 13:38 Richard Williams barely knows how to hold a racket, but with his new academy for youngsters, he could well hold the future of American tennis in his hands. 'No one, even the most sceptical among us, can argue with facts. And the fact is that everything Mr Williams touched became gold.' 威爸勉強的知道如何拿球拍但隨著他的網球學院的成立他或許可以掌控未來的美國網壇沒有人能忽視威爸有點石成金的能力 Richard Williams, father of Serena and Venus , never rests. After bringing into the tennis world two of the best players ever on the women's circuit, he has now decided to establish a team of youngsters aged six and upwards, with one purpose - to find the new generation of tennis stars. 威爸從來沒休息過在他培養了兩個女網最強的選手之一後他現在決定要培養六歲以上的網球學童找到下一代網球明星 Everyone knows the Williams story. Richard learned all he knows about tennis from videos and TV. He barely knows himself how to hold a racket, but he managed to mould two almost perfect players with his two hands. So if anyone wants to raise an eyebrow about his new business, and especially the fact that he is not only going to own it and run it, but also take to the tennis court again to coach – think again! No one, even the most sceptical among us, can argue with facts. And the fact is that everything Mr Williams touched became gold. Some will say that tennis has changed immensely since Richared coached his girls, and that his methods are long gone. Some might say that he can maybe coach girls and prepare them for women's professional tennis, but he has no idea about coaching boys or men. All that might be true and only time will tell. Richard came into the world of tennis with no official knowledge, no money – only with lots of self-confidence and belief and nothing to lose. Today, more than ten years later he is a millionaire with a reputation for being weird at times. But he is certainly successful, and with his new dream he has a need to show the world all that went before was no fluke. No one knows if he will succeed. This time around he has everything to lose, for sure his name and a chunk of his fortune. But even before he begins, he has already won a lot. Richard is giving something back to American tennis at a time that the sport desperately needs all the help it can get. American tennis is looking for a new generation of talented and successful players, and they just might come from the new tennis academy Williams is planning to open in New York and St. Louis. -- -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 140.120.230.105
