Great read from beginning to XCOnHAvlB endBy PaulaAs per other reviews, I was hesitant to read Monica's book thinking it WPlFu2ADB was going to be more about her strugles with food than about tennis. It was a book KXyb4e0Qv about tennis, about the lives of professional tennis players, the pressure of playing N5YCkeGXv on tour, the traveling, the coaches, the sponsors, the family, etc. This is probably vFhWATPFD the book that gives us more information on the behind the scenes of professional VWwXOwbwl tennis (I've read agassi, sampras, spadea's) This book was particularly interesting Dofg2EXxt as Monica played with that generation of tennis tacticians (Hingis, Evert, Navratilova, etc) but also played with the new generation: Sharapova, Williams, etc. She tells us of the changes she had to make to keep up with the new girls.Entertainning and emotional. Great read from beginning to end. I think it is more a book for the tennis fan though.I was never a fan of Monica but I am a huge tennis fan.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Seles equals greatnessBy bryanOne of the greatest tennis players who s ever lived shares the challenges and the rewards of a conscious life.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Enjoyed reading about her childhoodBy pattyTakes courage to be so open and honest. Enjoyed reading about her childhood, her relationships with her patents, her never ending efforts to become whole. It's so much more than about being a top ranked tennis professional. Monica realized she was her own best life coach. Her retirement was only the beginning of her life. Truly inspiring. Never give up on yourself.....

This New York Times hardcover bestseller is a remarkable journey through fame, tragedy, self-discovery, and triumph Getting a Grip chronicles Monica Seles's early success on the tennis circuit where, at age sixteen, she became the youngest winner in French Open history. For three years she dominated the tour, seemingly unstoppable, until a deranged Steffi Graf fan plunged a knife into her back during a match in Hamburg and turned her life upside down. Her injuries healed but the emotional trauma was deep. She spent more than two years in seclusion from the media and the tennis world, trying to fight off the fog of despair until she continued the battle against herself-grueling six-hour workouts were sabotaged by secretive late- night binges-and she was assaulted with criticism about her weight from her trainers and, most brutally, the press. After an excruciating injury forced her to take time off from tennis in 2003, Seles embarked on her own journey. As she uncovered the painful emotional reasons that had been the trigger for her binge-eating, she finally found the peace and balance she had been searching for. Seles's determination, amazing talent, and touching vulnerability make her story truly inspiring.
