The Grand Slams, Wimbledon crowns and Davis Cups his players won made Australia famous. They called him simply Mr Hopman, but the New York Times called him a 'one-man dynasty'. He was revered for his success but reviled for his methods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHe had no formal education as a coach or trainer but relentlessly pursued sporting excellence. Hopman's approach was revolutionary to a genteel sport, introducing the grit of gymnasiums and endurance exercises that bordered on sadistic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis book examines the many shades of Harry Hopman: the outsider who willed himself to play for his country and battled the sport's establishment; the schemer who saw America dominate the sport and devised a way to beat them; the unquestioned leader; and eventually the ageing coach who embraced the 'me generation'.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67712224854252,"sku":"9781801507264","price":59.95,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781801507264-the-fox-1.jpg?v=1791852662","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/the-fox-by-michael-sexton-9781801507264","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
