A Tennis Story
At age nine Andre Agassi had a lot of natural talent in tennis. His father could barely afford to send him to tennis school, so he decided to wager on his son's playing ability and what did he wager? His HOUSE. The other guy, football legend Jim Brown, was willing to put up $10,000 however the tennis club owner told him not to, that he would lose the wager and be embarrassed. Jim decided to play two sets and then wager, and lost both sets. Good thing he did, he would have lost $10,000! Agassi went on to become #1 in the world.
We are WAITING for your nominations!
