Game, set, and match! 🎾
Open is a personal and transparent autobiography. Forced by his father, Agassi had no other path than to become a professional tennis player, but in his own way. Written colloquially in first person, Agassi shares his most intimate thoughts and feelings, as he narrates the ups, downs, loops, and turns of his life’s rollercoaster and love/hate relationship with tennis🎢.
🎓 Three things I have learned from this book:
1. Professional athletes can hate their job.
2. Feeling and being part of a #team can have a massive influence in one’s success.
3. We are responsible for our own choices. Go after what you want to achieve. If you fail, learn, get up, and go at it.
My rating: 4️⃣ out 5️⃣. Even if tennis is not your favorite sport, there are some parallelisms and takeaways that can be reflected upon 🧐.
🤔 Reflection for you: How much do you love your profession? What could you change to love what you do?
