AGASSI BLASTS NBTA IMG
In an interview posted through a video in the New York Times Andre Agassi blasts the Nick Bollettieri Tennis Academy, IMG big time. Go to nytimes.com and it is on the main page in the headlines. The interview talks about his new book OPEN and how he was exploited by NBTA. He straight up comes out and shrewdly describes the lack of education at NBTA and how there was no supervision, no adult figures, calls NBTA a "glorified prison" with no love at all at the academy. He has supposedly a tragic description of NBTA described in his book which will sell a lot of books and probably hurt IMG business, blaming its structured programs. Slamming the academy that gave him direction, another ploy to sell books or just brutal honesty?
