Rafa

Tennis star Rafael Nadal reveals the secrets of the sport and the inspiring stories behind his success in this riveting memoir, written with award-winning journalist John Carlin.

What makes a champion? What does it take to be the best in the world at your sport? Rafael Nadal has the answers.

It begins in Mallorca, where the tight-knit Nadal family has lived for generations. Coached by his uncle Toni from the age of four and taught humility and respect by his parents, Nadal has managed the uncommon feat of becoming an acclaimed global celebrity while remaining a gracious, hardworking role model for people in all walks of life.

Now, he takes us behind the scenes, from winning the Wimbledon 2008 final—described by John McEnroe as "the greatest game of tennis" he had ever seen—to the family problems that brought him low in 2009, and the numerous injuries that have threatened his career.

With candor and intelligence, Nadal brings readers on his dramatic and triumphant journey, never losing sight of the prize he values above all others: the unity and love of his family.
