Why aren't you hanging out with your friends?

And Andre says something that's very revealing here that it finally clicked for me what he's doing.

I tell him my life has never for once day belonged to me.

My life has always belonged to someone else.

First my father, then Nick.

Nick is the guy that ran the tennis academy in Florida.

And always, always tennis.

Even my body wasn't my own until I met you, because he's his trainer, who is doing the one thing that fathers are supposed to do, making me stronger.

So being here, Gil, with you and your family, I feel for the first time in my life that I'm where I belong.

And that's when you realize what Andre's doing.

He's looking for a father.

He wants a father.

And Gil plays that role of protector.

Andre's talking about his childhood.

He says, I spent my childhood in an isolation chamber and my teen years in a torture chamber.

Sometimes a workout with Gil is actually just a conversation.

We don't touch a single weight.

There are many, many ways, Gil says, of getting strong, and sometimes talking is the best way.

And so he talks about Gil, how disorienting this experience is.

He's on the road, you know, tennis players on the road, something like 10 or 11 months out of the year.
