 "I've got your back" is a must read for everyone. September 26, 2004
3 out of 6 found this review helpful
A very honest and from the heart inside look of life on the ATP Tennis tour from Brad Gilbert. You would never experience such an up close and personal account from such a high level player now coach of the world's highest ranked players (Andy Roddick and Andre Agassi). Read this book and learn what life is like on tour as a coach and get an inside look of life with Andy and Andre from past tournaments on and off the court. I was shocked from how personal and embracing this book is. What goes through the mind of Brad Gilbert is brilliant. And that's why the top players in the world have chosen him to lead their paths and guide their tennis careers. It's been said that Brad Gilbert's mind is like a walking tennis computer. This book takes you from the beginnings of Brad Gilbert as a player turned coach to Andy Roddick's awesome win of the 2003 US Open, and not to mention Andre Agassi's Olympic gold medal. In my opinion a must read for everyone especially if you love tennis.

Big Gilbet fan, huge disciple of Winning Ugly! This is a completely different read. Not deep, but good, interesting sections on what he, as a coach, actually does on a professional level. His interaction with the player, insights, his influences. Book did tend to be repetitive - ok, once I'm told how great his relationship with Agassi and Roddick is, it's doesn't need to be harped on over and over, chapter after chapter. Hopefully the next book will be a little more strategic. Would like to see highlight tapes of some of his old matches(especially w/Becker) showing him applying his techniques. Should be a companion item for Winning Ugly.
I've Got Your Back is a great book September 20, 2004

I've Got Your Back by Brad Gilbert is a great book. It was compelling, and well written. Gilbert gives you a look inside the proffesional tennis world that is humurous as well as fascinating. Keep in mind, this is not Winning Ugly 2, it is it's own book with a more personal style. This time instead of Brad Gilbert's technical advice, you get to know Brad Gilbert. I think that that is the best part about the book.
