Advice to Sharapova: "Fire Your Dad."

Yuri has to go.
It would be my primary advice to two time Grand Slam champion Maria Sharapova who lost her chance to make it three when falling to Serena Williams on Saturday in Melbourne.
Time for Dad to go.
You are pretty, you are fun, you can become a great champion over time.
You don’t see Serena’s dad hovering over her any longer.
How’s she doing?
It was mind boggling to hear the tennis pundits speak about how Serena, ranked 81st in the world before the Aussie Open could pull off such a spectacular upset.
They appeared to rank the result in the legion of greatest sports upsets ever.
Thoughts of Ali-Liston and Douglass-Tyson come to mind.
Has someone baked too long in the Aussie heat?
Serena is now an eight time Grand Slam champion.
Unlike Maria, she isn’t only a Grand Slam Champion. She is one of the most prolific champions in the game.
Champions know the secret to winning a single or even two championships.
Great champions know more than the secret.
After each championship, they get tougher, especially mentally tougher on the court.
I recall Larry and Magic talking about how tough it was to win even one NBA championship.
Each summer, these basketball superstars spent their leisure time trying to improve at least one facet of their game.
I am sure technically Maria’s game could use some improvement.
Strategically and mentally, Maria has baggage to discard.
And it is in the shape of an ugly daddy who is an embarrassment to the game of tennis and no longer an asset to his daughter.
Yes, Maria you have won two Grand Slams with him or more likely, despite his presence.
How many more do you expect to win with him shouting instructions and hollering at all questionable calls?
Maybe zero.
Do yourself a favor.
Fire your dad.
You have outgrown him.
Discover the size of the champion you have within you.
I think there are lot more championships inside you.
Listen to your own voice.
It’s calling you to make a change.
Now!
