Coaching for Life: A Guide to Playing, Thinking and Being the Best You Can Be

Coaching for Life is an autobiographic journey into the mind and heart of a remarkable man. In his own well-chosen words Coach Annacone describes his life as player, coach and the friend of many who love and work in the field of tennis. This exceptional story is full of anecdotes and exciting passages of dynamic play and deep concentration from Pete Sampras and Roger Federer, to name only two of the many intimate portraits revealed here. In the words of Paul Annacone:

"Coaching for Life is not about the sport of tennis as much as it is a process-oriented journey based on the sport of tennis. It is the life I have lived, and the front row seat from which I have watched some of the greatest players compete on the most majestic courts in the world. But it is also something that can be applied to our own day-to-day life."

As commentator on the Tennis Channel, as life and sports coach, as memoir writer, Paul Annacone is in a class all by himself. He draws on more than thirty years experience, starting out as a top 100 tennis player and becoming, in time, one of the greatest coaches in the field. He has helped such greats as Pete Sampras, Roger Federer, Tim Henman, Sloane Stephens, and many others.
