When Clinton asked Agassi how creating the school compared with winning a tennis tournament, the former world champ said:
“Tennis was a stepping-stone for me. It gave me the chance to do this. Changing a child’s life is what I always wanted to do. Winning a tennis tournament doesn’t compare to the anticipation of what these kids will do with their lives.”
