Breaking Back: How I Lost Everything and Won Back My Life by James Blake

5.0

I don't closely follow tennis, but I was very impressed with James Blake's accomplishments after reading his memoir. I borrowed it from the library on a whim and ended up being inspired by the way he worked on himself, both on and off the court. He talks about his weaknesses as a player and as a person and what he did/does to improve. I could relate to some of his personal weaknesses and have adopted his "getting better" outlook on life. It turned out to be one of my better reads this year.
