Good book,
This review is from: Venus & Serena: My Seven Years as Hitting Coach for the Williams Sisters (Paperback)
If it happened this way, which, from what I have heard about Mr. Williams it probably did, these sisters should write Mr. Rineberg a check!

This review is from: Venus & Serena: My Seven Years as Hitting Coach for the Williams Sisters (Paperback)
Dave Rineberg comes across in this boook as not only a competent coach, but also as a proud fatherly type influence in Serena & Venus's lives. Obviously, Richard WIlliams was the dominant figure in their formative years, but this book really shows how Rineberg was kept in the shadows & made to feel unappreciated by Richard Williams. Underpaid & often rudely dismissed, Rineberg still retained a committment to the girls' tennis game, to their hitting sessions, and their tournament appearances. He put up with RW's outlandish behavior for the benefit of the Serena & Venus, who you could see he developed alot of fondness towards. Serena & Venus come across as regular teen girls, although very athletic & determined. So for that reason, I was really left feeling sad at the end of the book, with what seemed to be a lack of closure for the coach. Overall, a well-written account of the Williams sisters' transition from tennis players to champions, sometimes with detailed match reviews and some secret tennis training tips. Very intriguing read, sometimes hard to put down. Reccomended for all, especially tennis lovers.

Very highly recommended for tennis fans,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Venus & Serena: My Seven Years as Hitting Coach for the Williams (Hardcover)
Venus & Serena: My Seven Years As Hitting Coach For The Williams Sisters is the personal inside story and testimony of Dave Rineberg, who served as hitting coach for world-famous tennis champions Venus Williams and Serena Williams from 1992 to 1999. An inset section of black-and-white photographs embellishes this open and candid account of athletic training, determination, and the drive to succeed. As timely as their current history making performances on the tennis court today, Venus & Serena is very highly recommended for tennis fans who are eager to learn more behind the scenes about two widely celebrated champions.
