A Champion's Mind: Lessons from a Life in Tennis
- Great product!
In A Championâ€™s Mind, the tennis great who so often exhibited visible discomfort with letting people â€œinside his headâ€ finally opens up. An athletic prodigy, Pete resolved from his earliest playing days never to let anything get in the way of his love for the game. But while this determination led to tennis domination, success didnâ€™t come without a price.

Here for the first time Pete speaks freely about the personal trials he facedâ€”including the death of a longtime coach and confidantâ€”and the struggles he gutted his way through while being seemingly on top of the world. Among the bookâ€™s most riveting scenes are the devastating early loss that led Pete to make a monastic commitment to the game; fierce on-court battles with Andre Agassi; and the triumphant last match of Peteâ€™s career at the finals of the 2002 U.S. Open.

"A thoroughly compelling read that really probes the hard drive of a champion...All the emotion and insight that Sampras seemes reluctant to express during his playing days come spilling forth." â€”Jon Wertheim, senior writer, Sports Illustrated
