andre agassi

andre prolonged his career.

Andre Agassi’s story starts in his late 20s when, “I had dropped - no, I had free fallen -- to number 141 in the world. Late 20s. In tennis, that’s one foot into retirement for most players. But I had this burn to see what I could become. That was my mountain.” So he and his trainer, Gil Reyes, made a covenant: “I couldn’t become younger, but I could become stronger... Every day at the gym must mean something. Every single rep must mean something.” As a result, Andre’s career resurged in an almost unbelievable way - of the eight grand slams he won in his career, five came after the age of 29. Since then, he’s partnered with 24 Hour Fitness to bring his own line of clubs to other people who’d like to see what they can become.

I feel inspired to get control of my weight. At times it's very hard and I am not seeing the results physically right now although I do not have a personal trainer as of yet I am going to look into acquiring their services in the near future!
