Driven by his love of tennis, Mike Agassi decided to teach his children how to play the game. It was his son Andre's talent that shone through the brightest and Andre went on to become a dominant force in the world of men's tennis. But Mike's teaching also came with a high price and tensions between him and his children threatened to tear the family apart. A heartwarming look at one tennis family's turbulent story - and their ultimate reconciliation.
Dominic Cobello is a Montreal-based television, film, and music event producer, writer, and editor, who encouraged Mike to tell his story. "The Agassi Story" is his first book. Mike Agassi immigrated to the United States in the 1950s, ultimately settling in Las Vegas where he found work in casinos. He lives there with his wife, Betty.
