Danielle Mills Walden's journey to becoming a professional tennis player started when she was three years old.

By the age of ten, she was the #1-ranked player in her age group in the Western New York Region. At age eleven, she was admitted to IMG Academy, the prestigious sports boarding school known for turning out champions.

The next twelve years took Danielle through a world of intense sports training and competition, reveling in glorious wins and suffering demoralizing defeats, while striving to live up to her parents' high expectations. Plagued by criticism and injuries, Danielle refused to abandon her dream of becoming an elite player.

Scratching the Surface reveals the physical, mental, and emotional demands of chasing excellence. It's a must-read for anyone striving to be elite, written by a woman who reached for the stars and discovered them--not in tournaments and trophies, but within herself.
