Details
As the driving force behind their success, Richard's unconventional coaching methods and unyielding support became instrumental in shaping Venus and Serena into two of the greatest athletes in the history of tennis. The film portrays Richard's unrelenting nurturing and belief in his daughters' undeniable talent, often going against the grain to protect them from external pressures and relentless media scrutiny.
