Profile Picture
SHC

The title of this book may be a bit misleading. Winning Ugly discusses the mental attitudes behind the game of tennis, as well as many other sports. Brad Gilbert, the former coach of tennis star Andre Agassi and Andy Roddick , through his own personal experience related the psychology behind the game of tennis and how to use this mental attitude toward your advantage.
