British tennis legend Andy Murray recently reflected on his brief coaching foray with Novak Djokovic.
With his trademark dry humor, Murray admitted that Djokovic probably learned nothing from their time together, but Murray did.
Those learnings will be beneficial as Murray considers coaching in the future.

He admitted that he would like to coach at some point, but now is not the time.
Murray has young children so it is understandable that the grind of an 11-month tournament and travel schedule would not be appealing.
When he coached Djokovic, he was not present at every tournament.

Murray, who turns 39 next month, admitted that watching Djokovic prepare was interesting and helpful and served as a comparison to his own preparations when he played on the ATP Tour.
However, the biggest thing he learned, and it is something that he reiterated is important with children is communication.
Being able to communicate a message and listening to the feedback are vital.
Obviously, Murray would be considered a frontrunner at any point to coach young British hopefuls like Jack Draper and those who are coming through the pipeline behind him.
However, many think Murray would coach a WTA player. After all, he had ex-player and current French Open tournament director Amelie Mauresmo as his coach for a brief period in his career. He is supportive of the WTA players including Mirra Andreeva in recent years.
Murray has been a great advocate for the WTA so it would seem appropriate for him to coach a woman.
