If you are a tennis fan or just a fan of a good book I recommend “Breaking Back” by James Blake. A little background information is that in 2004 James Blake fractured his neck, then he lost his father to stomach cancer, and then he got Zosters-which paralyzed half of his face. This book tells the story of that year and how he came back from it all to have an incredible year. It is a very inspirational story. I loved the book, I read it in one day. I already had a lot of respect for James Blake but after reading this I gained even more respect. He didn’t give up- and that is very inspiring.
“It’s one of those wonderful correlations between tennis and life: the
only way to succeed where you’ve failed before is not to dwell on the
past, but to keep your mind on the task before you.”-James Blake
