A Champion Who Hated His Sport
Seven-year-old Andre Agassi faces "the dragon"-a ball machine firing at 110 mph while his father screams "Hit earlier!" The court is deliberately littered with thousands of balls to limit movement, and stepping on one brings his father's rage. Mike Agassi, a former Olympic boxer from Iran, has calculated that 2,500 balls daily equals nearly one million per year. Their Las Vegas home is distinguished by its bright green wall and the regulation tennis court Mike built himself, measuring it obsessively until he found property that could accommodate the precise 36 by 78 feet needed. What young Andre doesn't realize while helping construct this court is that he's building his own prison. By eleven, he's competing nationally, internalizing his father's voice-his impatience, perfectionism, and rage-until he no longer needs his father to torture him. He can do it himself. This is how champions are made, but at what cost?
