Darren Rovell knows sports and businesss. So when he recommends a book, you should take head. Here's what he has to say about James Blake's book:
The new book written by tennis star James Blake, co-written by Andrew Friedman, is called and it's quite simply the best athlete book I've ever read. Why was it so good? Because Blake's story--his father's death, contracting zoster, breaking his neck and his subsequent comeback--is so good that the tennis is the least significant part of the book. In fact, I counted a 60-page stretch in which not one tennis match was ever mentioned.
