Second Is Last: The Authorized Biography of Legendary Tennis Coach Nick Bollettieri Book

This biography offers a complete portrait of Nick Bollettieri, a man who has overcome adversity and betrayal to become a living legend. Author David R. Legge will capture the story of the greatest tennis coach, or perhaps any coach, who has ever lived. Legge has had unlimited access to Bollettieri, his family, his personal letters and papers, and, of course, many of his world-champion players. Bollettieri has trained ten No. 1-ranked players in the world, including Andre Agassi, Boris Becker, Venus and Serena Williams, Monica Seles, Jim Courier, and Maria Sharapova. This is a book about winning--on or off the court--and what it takes to be the best in any field. David Legge is a journalist who has written for numerous publications, including the Orlando Sentinel, the St. Petersburg Times, The Washington Post, Newsweek, and D (Dallas) magazine.
