Andre Agassi and Steffi Graf’s daughter Jaz endorses her father’s view on life ownership after hitting rock bottom

Andre Agassi and Steffi Graf’s daughter Jaz echoed her father’s perspective on how reaching “rock bottom” was a pivotal moment in his life.

The former World No. 1 said back in 2011 about how this experience led to a reassessment and ownership of his life.

“Rock bottom’s an interesting place. I moved in and spent some time there. It’s actually not a bad place. It’s a place where you get to ask, ‘Who do I want to be? Am I ready to take ownership of my life?’” Andre Agassi said during his induction into the International Tennis Hall of Fame.

The eight-time Grand Slam champion highlighted how his fall to World No. 141 led to self-discovery and a renewed journey to the top.

Andre Agassi’s daughter Jaz expressed her support for her father’s inspiring views by sharing a video of his comments on social media.
