It transports us from Nadal's lifelong home on the island of Majorca to the locker room of Centre Court as he describes in detail the pressures of competing in the greatest tournament in the world. It offers a glimpse behind the racquet to learn what really makes this intensely private person - who has never before talked about his home life - tick.

"Håndboldtips - 725 træningsøvelser til håndbold" er en opdateret udgave - en "2.udgave" af den første Håndboldtipsbog, der udkom på Forlaget Djurs i 2008. Dette forlag eksister ikke mere og den første udgave er for længst udgået af handel. Mange har efterspurgt den, men den kan pt. kun skaffes antikvarisk eller på et bibliotek nær dig. Derfor denne "nye" bog. Bogen henvender sig til alle, der har praktisk interesse i håndboldtræning. Den indeholder kun meget få taktiske og strategiske overvejelser - men til gengæld 725 træningsøvelser, der kan anvendes til den praktiske træning. Bogen er - som de senere bøger i "håndboldtips-serien" - tænkt som et værktøj, der netop kan anvendes, når teori skal omsættes til praktik. Øvelserne kan anvendes som anført i bogen, eller som inspiration til selv at tænke videre og udvikle egne øvelser. De fleste facetter af håndboldtræningen indenfor emnerne opvarmning, spil og lege, fysisk træning, teknisk træning, kontra, forsvarstræning, målvogtertræning og udstrækning dækkes. Bogen kan anvendes af trænere og idrætsundervisere på alle niveauer.
