“Better to Lose”- Serena Williams’ Former Coach Voices a Peculiar Strategy as He Focuses on Stress Management

Patrick Mouratoglou will go down as one of the greatest coaches in history. He trained Serena Williams, and she created several records in the WTA under his tutelage. Now that Mouratoglou is not with her, he often shares advice with his followers online. He recently dropped a gold nugget on one of his students, which he felt was imperative enough to be shared with his plethora of followers.

Prior to his most recent lesson, the French coach has talked about many aspects when it comes to the mindset of players. He has learned a lot during his time with Williams and is sharing that advice with younger players.

He said, “It’s better to lose. I mean, it’s never good to lose, but it’s better to lose doing all the things that you control well, rather than to win doing almost none of the things that you decide, which happens also sometimes. Because in one case, you progress ten times more than the other case.”

He further talked about a key move. “So I think the only right way to think, and that’s gonna help you, by the way, perform much better, believe me, is to focus on everything we decided that you’re going to control all the time. And make a deal with yourself because that’s the key.”

“Make a deal with yourself and say, ‘Okay, I’m proud of myself if I do all the things I said I will do, if I deliver what I said, I’m super proud of myself because I’m a better player after every match and I’m going to improve very fast.’,” he finished.    

Sometimes, his strategy might seem peculiar to upcoming players, and they might not be well-suited for some. But Mouratoglou is not likely to share something without thinking it through once. He did the same when he talked about a player facing someone close.

Patrick Mouratoglou on playing against a loved one

When Serena Williams was smashing players left and right, she often had to face her sister, Venus Williams. She had to play against her with a different mindset because she was not just any opponent. He learned from her that not wanting to go all out against a loved one would be thinking of the present. But if one lost a match, they would feel terrible in the future.

Therefore, a player should face their opponent by thinking of the future, regardless of who they are playing against. He has often praised the Williams sisters through his posts on his social media pages. The coach has learned a lot from his time coaching the younger Williams sister and will keep sharing various lessons with his followers.
