John McEnroe
The autobiography that I selected to read is titled You Cannot Be Serious. It’s written by John McEnroe along with James Kaplan. John McEnroe was born on February 16, 1959 at the Wiesbaden Air Force Base. John grew up in Douglaston, Queens where he excelled as an excellent student and was favored by many teachers. One teacher once wrote a note to his parents saying “Johnny is a gifted child with a tremendous urge to do better work than his classmates.” Some of why John excelled at a young age can be contributed to his parents who pushed him constantly. As soon as he started playing tennis they pushed him to play a minimum of 6 hours a day to improve his skills. But tennis is not what John enjoyed the most. His true loves were basketball and rock and roll. He dreamed of growing up and becoming a professional basketball player. He played many sports including football until he decided soccer was more fun. He was forced to quit all sports though in 10th grade to further his career in tennis. He was really disappointed to have quit basketball because he loved the camaraderie of playing on a team. That is one reason he loves to play doubles so much. He lived a very well-to-do childhood.

He hopes his kids will see nothing means more to him than being a good father to them. If you wanted to know about his greatest tennis accomplishment he would say the victory over Bjorg in 1979 to win his first major championship. But if you were talking in a professional sense, he would say becoming a successful commentator. He has troubles talking fluently so he had to work very hard to become a good and successful commentator and is as proud of that as anything he has accomplished. John feels as though he has lived his life very triumphantly. He feels happy and is glad about what he has accomplished. He knows he made some wrong decisions in life but does not regret them. He says that everything he has done has been part of what he has become today. He feels as though people never gave him a fair chance because of his attitude on the court. He knows that everything on the tennis court was simply part of how much desire he had to win each and every match he played. He is fully devoted to his family and is very content and truly thankful for everything he has been blessed with John has been through more major events in his life than any other professional tennis player ever. He won 154 tournaments in all including 77 singles and 77 doubles victories. That is more than any other tennis professional has ever accomplished. He was married twice, went through 5 childbirths of his own and been divorced once. But if you asked him what was the most
