Summary:  "The story of Richard Williams, tennis coach and father of tennis players Venus and Serena Williams. He'd set his mind to raise two of the greatest women champions in professional tennis well before they could even hold a racket. The source of his vision, the method behind his execution, and the root of his indomitable spirit he held private. Until now. His story of struggle, determination, hard work, and family -- stories about the poverty and violence of his early life in Shreveport, Louisiana, in the 1940s -- a life that could have ended on the day he was born because of indifference, racism, and cruelty were it not for the strength of his mother and the kindness of a stranger. Williams's mother was his hero, just as he became a hero to Venus and Serena, who express in the book the lessons he taught them and how much they love their much-criticized and even maligned father. His critics claimed that he was 'in the way' of his daughters' athletic success, that he was destroying his daughters' marketing and advertising abilities, and even accused him of abuse. Richard Williams describes a family life held together by the principles that matter most: courage, confidence, commitment, faith, and above all, love. The self-made man saw the value of education and had the discipline to practice what he learned. Richard Williams has walked a long, hard, exciting, and ultimately rewarding road for seventy years, fighting every hand raised against him while raising a loving family and two of the greatest tennis players who ever lived"--Provided by publisher.
