Andre Agassi, the only man to win a career Golden Slam (all four Grand Slam singles titles plus the Olympic gold medal) reflects on his life both on and off the court -- from dropping out of high school and turning pro at 16, to pivotal matches with rivals Jimmy Connors, Pete Sampras, and Roger Federer, his relationships with Brooke Shields and wife Stefanie Graf, and his role as an education advocate and philanthropist.

I have always liked Andre Agassi as a tennis competitor. Now I have a huge respect for him as an individual. He is giving back to his community in his charter school and he has grown as a man, a father and a husband, I'm sure. Kudos to Andre! Much good luck and success with your charter school and your life's endeavors.
one thing people might not understand about MANY substances consumed for the misguided purpose of getting 'more energy', from drugs like meth, to 'coke', to redbull, to coffee, etc, is this -- the story of the "the goose that laid the golden egg" comes to mind... You are, in MANY of those cases, not giving Yourself any additional energy -- You are STEALING from Your body's reserves for tomorrow. You repeatedly steal tomorrow's energy for today, and ultimately wind up short on energy all the time because the body's energy system have been repeatedly jolted and shocked out of a state of natural energy cycle and balance... get energy from eating natural, healthy, unprocessed, un-industrially-adulterated, life-giving food, and accept the energy the Sun and Nature give freely... Sleep, eat, breathe, Live fully.
