Brad Gilbert and Steve Jamison
Winning Ugly is a great read not only for tennis players but also for for anyone interested in learning a bit about sports psychology. Brad Gilbert is truly a master of self discipline, an ability which allowed him to be a great professional tennis player.
Gilbert doesn’t talk much about tennis strokes as he does tennis strategy and general mental toughness. He preaches relaxation, preparedness and gamesmanship; more broadly known as mental toughness.
Gilbert himself used his incredible mental skills to compliment his good but not great athletic abilities and rise to the no. 4 spot on the international tennis scene. He beat great players like John McEnroe, Ivan Lendl, Andre Agassi and Bjorn Borg.
