Brad Gilbert, the top tennis coach in America, has guided two of the nation's hottest players-first Andre Agassi and then Andy Roddick-to the coveted number-one ranking in the world. And he did it with a unique style that can teach the rest of us everything we need to know about coaching winners, not just on the court but in the office, classroom, or any other leadership situation. "Show me a coach," says Gilbert, "who doesn't listen-really listen-and I'll show you a probable loser. Show me a coach who domineers and demeans, who manages through fear, and I'll show you an accident waiting to happen. Show me a coach who doesn't think it's just as important to empower the lowliest scrub on the team as it is to cater to the star, and I'll show you a real short-timer." Filled with insider stories about the pressure-filled world of Grand Slam tennis, I've Got Your Back is an entertaining, practical, and inspirational book-in the tradition of Rick Pitino's Success Is a Choice and Lou Holtz's Winning Every Day-that can help each of us achieve our personal best.Gilbert, Brad is the author of 'I've Got Your Back Coaching Top Performers From Center Court to The Corner Office', published 0013 under ISBN 9781591840954 and ISBN 1591840953.
