I used to love playing tennis.
To this day I love watching it. It’s a fantastic sport. And nothing illustrates the inherent passion of it all than this book.
Most of all, this book reminded me of how fun it is to win things. To earn awards, to be the best. It’s a love that has lied dormant in me, ever since I stopped doing things competitively.
But also, it showed me it’s okay to lose. When you live for the passion of what you’re doing, really, that’s all that matters. And I think that’s a very important message for me to absorb.
I loved reading this book. In fact, I blazed through it. TJR can write like no other. It took me months to pick this book off of my shelf, and boy am I sorry it took me so long.
My ultimate recommendation: read this book. It’s beautiful. If you’re competitive, love tennis, and/or simply love a compelling story with amazing writing, this is the story for you.
