And at first he resists and doubts himself.

Then he crosses over the threshold into the unknown.

Along the way, he's going to face trials, setbacks and gets help from mentors or allies.

He gets to the peak.

He reaches a crisis.

He falls.

And then he changes through the struggle, starts to gain wisdom, strength, and clarity about his own life and what he actually wants.

And at the very end, he has a new way of being.

And so one of these allies that he's going to meet and is going to help him along the way is this guy named Brad Gilbert, who's also a professional tennis player.

At the time, Agassi is looking for a new coach.

And his friend says, hey, why don't you check out this guy?

He's just written a book about tennis.

It's called Winning Ugly.

And Andre knows the writer and the tennis player, Brad Gilbert.

He says, his game is the opposite of mine.

He's a junker, meaning he mixes speeds, uses change of pace, misdirection, and guile.

He has limited skills and takes a conspicuous pride in this fact.

If I'm the classic underachiever, Brad is the consummate overachiever.

Rather than overpowering opponents, he frustrates them and preys on their flaws.

Brad's book contains the kind of practical wisdom I need.
