Andy Murray talks about turning into a coach
During ‘The Tour: What I’ve Learned’ show, Murray revealed why he wanted to venture into coaching. He said, “The biggest lesson that I’ve learned – it’s important to obviously enjoy the highs but you know, you’re often competing at a tournament a few days later and you know, getting overconfident and things like that. You can easily lose in a couple of days so you need to just try as much as possible to stay sort of level-headed so you obviously have to learn how to deal with those losses in a positive and constructive way.”
