Legendary coach Rick Macci joined by experts to discuss winning [Full Video]
Feb 24, 2024
A few weeks ago, legendary tennis coach Rick Macci hosted a "VIP meet-up and fireside chat" at his tennis academy in South County Regional Park in Boca Raton. Macci's students were in attendance along with parents and other sports industry luminaries.
Macci invited the co-host of his popular "Game, Set, Life" podcast, David Meltzer, to sit alongside Macci's co-author Dr. Nivedita Uberoi Jerath of new book, Billion Dollar Mind: A Practical Guide to the Game of Life, to discuss what it takes to be successful in tennis, business, and life.
Florida Tennis was fortunate to get an invite to the event. We covered the event and extracted our favorite quotes in a prior article. Afterwards, we asked Macci for access to the full presentation on video for our readers. Macci agreed and the full video is now available as an exclusive to Florida Tennis — you can check it out below via our YouTube channel.
