    • Tennis Classic

      I read this some time ago and purchased it for review. I learned about as much with a second reading. Good book for mental toughness in any sport but especially racket/paddle sports.

    • Brad is a good coach.. He took Agasi to the top of his game. He got some good ideas and i dont play tennis, but table tennis.

    • Nice!

      Excellent book

      Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-OwnedSold by: discover-books

    • A must read for tennis players. Especially the underdog.

      A must read for anyone who wants to be competitive at tennis; whether you are getting started or experienced. This book has been recommended by every Pro I know. It is different from what I expected, too. Better. It has a lot to do with preparation, common sense things often overlooked and various mental components of the game.

    • Good edge

      Informative and good tips for getting an edge.
