She taught me how to have fun she made me laugh - Serena Williams former fitness coach Mackie Shilstone
By Mrinal Mukherjee Modified 02 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share Serena Williams' former fitness coach Mackie Shilstone spoke about his relation with the tennis legend. Serena Williams' former fitness coach Mackie Shilstone has shed light on the 23-time Grand Slam champion's playful and fun side. Since announcing her plans to retire last month, the American veteran has been on the receiving end of praise and adulation from the tennis world, with her former fitness coach Shilstone the latest to do so. In a recent podcast conversation with BBC Sport, Shilstone shared his experiences of coaching Williams. He spoke about how the 40-year-old taught him to have some fun and enjoy life. It was Williams who taught him to text and use social media, he said. "She [Serena Williams] taught me how to have fun, she made me laugh. I've got two sons, one's 34, one's 30. The first person that taught me to text was Serena!" She said, 'I dont do phone.' I said, I don't do phone, where do you come from, woman? I don't do text. She said, 'You've got to text with me'! She said, 'Mackie, you need to be on Twitter.' I said, I don't need to be on Twitter. She hooks me up for Twitter. She said, ’I want to put you on Instagram.' I said you do? Whats Instagram? and she says, 'Oh Mackie'!"
