I recently read "Winning Ugly" which I first learned of from Andre's autobiography. I am a private music teacher in Portland Oregon and often when I've had an positive impact on my student's journey as musicians, they let me know and I wanted to do the same for you. I'm a 33 year old 3.5 player who played a lot as a kid but just got back into tennis this year after devoting most of my life to music. There is an undefeated player in town who everyone in my league considers "unbeatable" and I decided to focus on beating him after feeling a renewed sense of confidence from reading your book. I applied everything I learned from your book this morning and for the first time ever, I arrived at the match with a clear strategy which I stuck to and a much more competitive mindset and awareness of the implications of each point. I took notes on my phone while reading Winning Ugly which I reviewed before warming up. I beat him 6-4, 6-2 and he is no longer undefeated! I learned a lot from you not only from "Winning Ugly" but also from the stories Agassi shares in "Open" I'm sure you hear this everyday, but here's one more player telling you that you've done a great thing and a huge educational service to anyone who takes the time to read your book. Thanks! YN Dear Brad.

You are a great Coach. You deserve to be joined into the HOF. But not Nick. I hope you will not misunderstand me or avoid putting this reply in your web site. The truth is Nick is a businessman. He jsut started a business knowing that it has future. He is an intense person and detailed oriented and that helped him to explore Tennis with the help from other Geniuses. He himself is not a Genius. He used people. Monica, Agassi, ....all these players family has done a humongus amount of sacrifice in making thsoe young age foundation. Nick just used it. Pl do not try to make HOF as Business. It is a sports and for sports people who work their ass off. Thank you. Brad, I want to be honest. You are a great Coach. You deserve to be joined into the HOF.
