for many years I have said "I don't coach American Tennis.  I strive to be much more intelligent"

He and I agree that the process of training athletes is way to politicized, and that much poorer nations that are unified in their approach have a huge advantage.  They work like a family and develop interdependency program wide.  In some countries pro players play next to beginners, which of course inspires those kids.  Pros hit with college level, college level hit with juniors, juniors hit with intermediates, intermediates hit with beginners....

OK, spill the beans Bill - what did he say about US tennis?

Martin Baroch, Czech Coach working in Suisse. Had a hand in the development of Wawrinka, Czech Team Tennis Domination in 2012, and worked with Sloan Stephens to some degree. GREAT GUY. When asked about how the U.S. could do better... you have to ask him to stop making sense!
