Horia Tecau is a Romanian tennis player. He turned pro in 2003 and reached the men's doubles finals of the 2010, 2011 and 2012 Wimbledon Championships with Robert Lindstedt before winning it in 2015 with Jean-Julien Rojer, with whom he also won the 2017 US Open.

In his book, Horia invites young readers to discover his story, urging them to follow their dreams no matter how impossible they seem: the book is filled with attractive illustrations for children, a couple of pages left blank for them to write their own stories and a dictionary of tennis terms.

Excerpt: "I want to take you on a journey and tell you the story of how I became a professional tennis player. It doesn’t matter whether you already know me or not, or whether you’ve watched any of my games or not. It doesn’t matter whether you play tennis or any other sports, or whether you decide to pick up a tennis racquet after reading this book. I will be happy if my story inspires you, helps you a little bit in the future, and remains in a box of cherished memories. There have been many great people around me that marked, influenced and shaped my existence, from parents, grandparents and teachers to the people who have become close to me over the years. They all taught me to believe in my abilities, to accept defeats, to always be patient and to always move forward. How far I will reach, I cannot say, because my story is still being written. Life is a string of important encounters, and every one of them marks a new stage in one’s development. The people you meet matter enormously, especially when you are very young and beginning the journey of learning who you really are."
