Product Description
Acknowledging the conventional wisdom that "winning isn't everything," this guide takes the position that winning is still eminently preferable to losing and lays out a step-by-step plan for succeeding at any of life's endeavors. In addition to sharing his personal experiences as a world-class tennis player and successful businessman, Allen Fox unveils the secrets of champions and reveals how everyone can put them to use to tilt the odds in their favor in a hilarious, take-no-prisoners tone. Factors contributing to success, such as common mental characteristics of winners and the role of intellect over emotion, as well as obstacles to victory such as the insidious and pervasive fear of failure and the unconscious struggle between ambition and fear, are also discussed.

 Get this book! August 30, 2005

This is not a book about tennis. As its title implies, it is all about winning...About why we don't always win and how we can increase our chances of winning. This author clearly articulates the reasons why we and those around us often unknowingly sabotage ourselves and the methods that we can all use to overcome these tendencies. He does this without the use of "physco babble" and you won't have to run to the dictionary every five minutes. The use of tennis as a segue into a business context is very effective, but you don't really need to know anything about tennis to "get" the point. The book is organized into sub-headings within each chapter. These sub-headings are frequently several paragraghs long in which he "nails" each point effectively. So the authors offers up his book in "bite size chunks", making it easy to read and digest. I've read many "self help" books, and this is among the very best.
 Same old same old July 19, 2005
The book is not as much about tennis as I was lead to believe. There is a great deal of information about goal setting and the psychology of sports but I've heard or read it all before. It is nice to have a re-cap but in my opinion I would have rather been reading a summer novel.
U like tennis and success story? You must read it. March 28, 2005

As a coach of professional players and business man I could really relate to the relation that Allen Fox makes between tennis and today's business. If you read one book this year, make it this one. You will really enjoy it.
