"Show me a coach," said Brad Gilbert, "who doesn't listen -- really listen -- and I'll show you a probable loser. Show me a coach who domineers and demeans, who manages through fear, and I'll show you an accident waiting to happen. Show me a coach who doesn't think it's just as important to empower the lowliest scrub on your team as it is to cater to the star, and I'll show you a real short-timer." If you love the game of tennis then you gotta get this book by Brad Gilbert who guided Andre Agassi and Andy Roddick to superstardom. And guess what... I got this for Php75 bucks at Booksale.
I lost my book during Typhoon Ondoy and have struggled to replace it with copies of the original cover (I prefer this to the new cover that they used for the film). A riveting tale of grit, grace, luck, and an underdog's stubborn determination. And a darn well written story by Laura Hillenbrand. And I got it for Php25 also at Booksale.
