Agassi’s real story is told at his academy

Wonder what really motivates Andre Agassi these days?

It’s the Andre Agassi College Preparatory Academy.

“I think we’ve learned more than we’ve taught, to be quite honest,” says Agassi, who dropped out of school in the 9th grade to pursue his tennis career. “It’s been an education for me, certainly. There has been a lot of trial and error and learning from those decisions. But we’re in one healthy place. Sometimes when I look at it now it overwhelms me to see where we’ve come. But it’s a continual process. It’s like, this isn’t a finished product even though the campus is built and we have the students performing at a high level. We continually have to learn how to make ourselves better and keep kind of pushing the standard.”
