Coco’s brother, Codey, plays baseball, and Cameron plays everything since he is just 9 years old. Coco Gauff helps Codey a lot more, but she does not talk to him a lot about sports. She says her parents are already counseling him, but it’s just the work ethic of everyone. Codey is a teenage boy who goes to regular school. Furthermore, she explains that she did online schooling, so she did not have distractions.

Therefore, she talks to him about that aspect. She motivates his brother by saying that you have to want it for yourself; no one else has to want it for you.

Then, she goes with her youngest brother, Cameron, who reminds her of herself. According to her, Cameron is very passionate and fiery, but his emotions can get very high and low. She said that he is the most athletic of all three of them.

However, the problem with him is that he is not much of a team player. So, they need to work on that aspect with Cameron. She talks about the incident where Cameron is at his match, and he throws his hands up when his teammates make some mistakes. Later on, her father told him that he cannot do that in a team match.

Coco Gauff advises her younger brothers, but she also learns from them. Codey and Cameron are two different personalities when it comes to sports. She helps Codey in his schooling aspect. Regular schooling brings a lot of distractions, and it might distract him from his way. Cameron does not have a cool temper when it comes to teamwork. Coco and their father help him cope with the same. They may have a lot to learn from Coco, but they also inspire her in many other aspects.

Coco Gauff learns a lot from her two younger brothers. She learns from Codey about their calmness when he enters the field. She says Codey knows that he is good, but at the same time, he also knows that he is not. Certainly, that’s how someone is supposed to be on the court; you have to feel like you are the best, and you cannot feel like you are the worst. But you also have to know that there is someone who is always working behind you. So, the balance he keeps when he enters the field is what inspires Coco. 

With Cameron, he feels like he is the best, and Coco wishes to have the same confidence. She says that she also has high confidence, but that kid has the highest confidence she has ever seen. That’s something she wants to learn from him. Hence, she wishes to have high confidence like Cameron, whereas she wants to have calmness like Codey when she is on the court.
