Nick Kyrgios, Say Hello to Marc Potter

Yoga has entered the pop cultural world. This is a matter of significance as it heralds acceptance beyond mainstream. Not that Yoga was unknown; with the nomination of music album Bhakti without Borders in the New Age category of 2016 Grammy Awards, the inspiration from yoga has literally crossed boundaries. If Tennis Australia is, listening or reading this then it is time to hook up Nick Kyrgios with Marc Potter.

Who is Marc Potter?
He is a 50-year-old yoga teacher, landscape horticulturist and an avid surf boarder among other facets. He is a yoga teacher extraordinaire (www.sunsalute.com.au). Persona of calmness with an ability to help people discover self-belief is his forte. 

Why Kyrgios needs to meet Marc?
Nick Kyrgios is without a coach for more than 12 months. He has demonstrated his raw talent in the year gone by. To reach the next level he needs to firm up (as per his own admission he is soft). This is an excellent first step in admitting he needs help. Help from a regular coach is not going to cut it with a volatile personality as Nick (unless John McEnroe comes on board). Kyrgios needs to discover himself.

How can Marc Potter help Nick Kyrgios?
Marc is an expert in helping people find themselves. Finding an inner peace is within his realms. He practices what he preaches. He is not a sidelines pot-bellied coach or life trainer. Spending a lot of time with Marc, Nick Kyrgios can start to see within himself and also become flexible (the hangdog attitude is a give-away of inner turmoil) gaining additional strength both mentally and physically. Forget tennis coaching. He is very good in that department.
