Australia's first TV doctor, Dr. James Wright, has passed at age 94.
Was a time where he probably had as big a profile as anyone on the box.

The famous coach who trained Andre Agassi, the Williams sisters and many others, died Monday at the age of 91.
That Florida academy he ran certainly courted plenty of controversy, but he punched out some champions.

In 1980, Sports Illustrated headlined a piece about Bollettieri: “He’ll Make Your Child A Champ, But It Won’t Be Much Fun.”

Bollettieri believed in repetition.

“To change a shot,” he said, “you have to repeat the same shot about 30,000 times in training. That’s the rate, the union minimum.

Geezus. many years ago I was having a few Friday lunchtime beers at a pub in the city with some work colleagues. The conversation went to who was the worst/most ungainly kick of a footy ever to play VFL/AFL.

I nominated Barry Round and proceeded to loudly explain why, his shit ball drop, shonky action, in minute detail. As I finished, a mate leaned in and whispered in my ear, "you know he's sitting behind us?"

I laughed, turned around, and there was barry Round sitting 6 feet away staring absolute daggers at me.
