Jelena Gencic: Novak Djokovic’s First Tennis Coach

What a wonderful role model for women who coach!  In this episode of 60 minutes, the world’s #1 ranked male tennis player shares his experience as a child working with his coach, Jelena Gencic.  What I found most interesting was her focus on his development as a person in addition to his development as a world class athlete.

And particularly moving is their reunion at the end of the episode.  It is easily apparent that they share a wonderful coach-athlete bond.
