Patrick Mouratoglou; Serena Williams' coach; host of his own daily
TV Show for Eurosport International, sports commentator on ESPN,
founder and President of the Mouratoglou Tennis Academy and Resort
and Philanthropist is the most followed coach on the
"Tennisphere".The Coach is Patrick Mouratoglou's hugely
motivational and inspirational story. As a child, he was full of
suffering, enduring anxiety attacks at night. In his own words
"puny and very timid, paralysed by the shame of not being able to
do better".Now, as one of the world's leading tennis coaches he is
responsible for transforming the career of Serena Williams and
helping her become the greatest of all times. His story is a great
example of trial over adversity.
This book offers a stunning visual record of the evolution of
women's sporting attire in Western fashion over nearly two
centuries. With selections from Keds, Pendleton, and Spalding and
garments by Coco Chanel, Claire McCardell, and Jean Patou, among
many others, it features familiar names in the development of
sport, industry, and dress, as well as significant rediscoveries.
Standing at the intersection of the history of fashion and
feminism, Sporting Fashion highlights the extraordinary impact of
new technologies and evolving social mores on women's clothing for
sport. It explores how the basic forms of women's sportswear we
know today-from swimsuits to sneakers- were developed and codified
during a time when women were achieving more freedom. Full colour
illustrations of sport and leisure ensembles are included, along
with magazine spreads and archival images. In thematic sections,
the authors approach the range of ways women entered into the
sporting world- from traveling to calisthenics, golfing to tennis,
motorcycling to promenading. The book looks at examples of clothing
that allowed women to walk freely and compete in sports previously
restricted to men. It explores how designers both reacted to and
encouraged the growing acceptance of exposed skin at public beaches
and pools-and how cold weather fashion made its way onto the slopes
and the ice. Never before have the garments and accessories that
defined women's roles as both spectators and athletes been
presented on this scale and in such detail.
