Exclusive: WTA survey the relationship between players and coaches

According to the Daily Telegraph, the WTA Tour is investigating two well -known coaches because they have unprofessional and potential abuse between them and players.

In the women's tour, the scandal between players and coaches is very common, which is worrying, so that a top coach said that this situation has made the entire sports "lose professional and legitimacy." However, the current WTA's leadership shows at least signs of solving this long -term problem. WTA has released a new position- "Security Director".

At the same time, behind the scenes, some coaches have noticed that the leaders of relevant departments have adopted a more open and interested attitude about the reports of relevant behaviors.

However, some critics still believe that the lack of anonymous hotline reporting such incidents indicates that the official lacks promise to a greater extent.

Two coaches told the Daily Telegraph that it is necessary to take action under such limits that exceed other exercise restrictions.

"So far, I have never seen so many boyfriends as coaches of women's players," said Slovak's senior coach Vladimir Pratenik. He is the coach of the famous player Casakina.

"There were cases in the past, but now it is a bit overwhelming from my perspective. The problem is that there are some coaches here, and they will be based on every player they coach. This is also a bit strange, because the bonus has risen, and the money made by the girls is enough to be enough. Pay to a better coach. But this seems to be a trend. "

These claims have been responded to Lucero. He is the coach of the player Johnson and is currently preparing for Wimbledon. He has also coached many successful women's players, including Rogers and Lisque.

"When this happens, it will cause our entire movement to lose its professionalism and legitimacy." Lucerlo said.

"Obviously, there are some bad coaches abused the power between them and players, either in PUA spiritually or through the relationship that exceeded the boundaries.

"This is something that has always existed. It creates an environment that is not suitable for anyone, which is obviously not good for players. Players are always younger, some of them are still young people and they are still growing. This kind of power is dynamic. Balance will cause young players for many years of psychological, emotional impact and trauma. "

The third coach who was unwilling to reveal the name with the Grand Slam champion said: "Obviously, this behavior is absolutely wrong, and these coaches should be removed from the tour."

In the personal movement of tennis, the firing coach may be technically challenging, not the top -down structure we see in the team movement. But there are also examples of coaches who are resigned.

Another solution is to create a new license system for all team members, because not only the coach often surpass the boundaries of the personal relationship with the players, but also the same is true of some fitness coaches or other supporters.

When asked whether the WTA is currently investigating any specific coach, the spokesman replied: "If any investigation may be conducted or is undergoing any investigation, we have no right to comment. Keep unchanged. "(Source: Tennis House Author: Simon Briggs Translation: Lynn)
