Customer Reviews

a must read for all Monica's and tennis fans

I think Monica is the coolest tennis player of all time, with two fisted forehand and backhand, hitting the ball like cannon and always goes for the lines no matter she is leading or behind. From this book, you had a chance to know the other side of Monica. She is gracious, humane and always willing to give. She is just a great champion on and off the court. In contrast, you can also see the personalities of many top players. They are selfish and never showed symathy for Monica's tragedy . I learnt a lot from the book and understand why Monica was voted as the Sanex Hero of the year.

A true athlete -- An example to be followed

From Fear to Victory is a book that everybody should read. It helps a person realize what takes to be the best. It shows what made a scared little girl become the world's best athlete. It shows ways to deal with success, fear, and anger. This is the best book I have ever read, and I believe that everybody should read this book, and in that way change their perceptives about Monica, and athletes in general.
