  TennisReporters.net/The Andy Roddick-Brad Gilbert split: Andy didn't train hard enough for Brad
Andy Roddick fired Brad Gilbert for a number of reasons: His coach didn't get along with his father, Jerry; he wants to call his own shots with a more low key coach; the two couldn't come to terms on his training schedule or a financial contract.
Gilbert was surprised by the move, but not completely stunned, given that he had asked Roddick to change his December schedule and focus more on training, rather than charity events and exhibitions.
Gilbert prefers to be around his players constantly, while Roddick is at the age where he prefers to spend a fair amount of his off-court time with his friends and the woman he happens to be dating.

Brad Gilbert's contributions are unique among the game's all-time great players; While never endowed with physical gifts at the level of a Boris Becker, nor natural talent to rival Roger Federer, he nevertheless acheived great success through his fine mental ability, particularly his keen sense of strategy.
Brad's stories from the tour, and the exact game plans he used to defeat Boris Becker, Jimmy Connors, and John McEnroe are clearly outlined, together with in-depth ways to apply these techniques to one's own club opponents.
Brad sees rushing, or playing too quickly, as one of the club player's greatest weaknesses, and often comes because that player is just focused on hitting balls, rather than implementing a definite strategy.
