They mean you've won, accomplished your goal. The hard work has paid off. Some tennis players are so exhilarated when they hear those three words that they jump over the net and shake their opponent's hand before waving to a crowd of cheering fans. Others fall to their knees and hold up their racquet in ultimate victory or lie down on the court, eyes closed, soaking in the precious moment. You cannot beat the feeling of winning a well-played, hard--fought tennis match or being the coach who taught a player how to win that match. The player is physically exhausted, the coach mentally drained. They know they have won the day, at least for now. After a brief celebration, however, it is on to the next challenge. The pro tennis season is long, with hardly any downtime. The women's tour begins in January and ends in late October. The men's season is a bit longer, starting in January and reaching into late November and sometimes even early December. There is little time to rest, to recover from nagging injuries that crop up during the season. Tennis is one of the world's most popular sports. How popular? You will even find a full-sized public tennis court tucked away on the fourth floor of the iconic Grand Central Station in New York City where commuters, by appointment, can take lessons or play a few sets before catching the next train home. The game is fast-paced and physically demanding. It requires agility, flexibility, balance, control, speed, strength, boundless energy, and mental alertness. Top-ranked professional tennis players receive global recognition and can earn millions in prize money. You have a chance to rule the tennis world, to claim the number-one ranking, to be the best. Yet behind the fame and fortune lie relentless training, endless practice sessions, and a highly demanding schedule. No matter how good you are, someone always wants to take your place, be the next great player on the circuit, the one who defeats you. Talented coaches and tennis instructors develop future generations of great tennis players. They teach youngsters the intricacies of the game and nurture in them a dedication to the sport. Not everyone a tennis coach works with is going to be a professional tennis player; in fact, very few reach that rarefied level. Some students are older adults who want to learn a sport and see what it is all about, or update the skills they learned in college. Through expert instruction, coaches give every player who comes to them to learn the ins and outs of the game an renewed appreciation for this sport.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The timeless guide to achieving the state of “relaxed concentration” that’s not only the key to peak performance in tennis but the secret to success in life itself—now in a 50th anniversary edition with an updated epilogue, a foreword by Bill Gates, and an updated preface from NFL coach Pete Carroll “Groundbreaking . . . the best guide to getting out of your own way . . . Its profound advice applies to many other parts of life.”—Bill Gates, GatesNotes (“Five of My All-Time Favorite Books”) This phenomenally successful guide to mastering the game from the inside out has become a touchstone for hundreds of thousands of people. Billie Jean King has called the book her tennis bible; Al Gore has used it to focus his campaign staff; and Itzhak Perlman has recommended it to young violinists. Based on W. Timothy Gallwey’s profound realization that the key to success doesn’t lie in holding the racket just right, or positioning the feet perfectly, but rather in keeping the mind uncluttered, this transformative book gives you the tools to unlock the potential that you’ve possessed all along. “The Inner Game” is the one played within the mind of the player, against the hurdles of self-doubt, nervousness, and lapses in concentration. Gallwey shows us how to overcome these obstacles by trusting the intuitive wisdom of our bodies and achieving a state of “relaxed concentration.” With chapters devoted to trusting the self and changing habits, it is no surprise then, that Gallwey’s method has had an impact far beyond the confines of the tennis court. Whether you want to play music, write a novel, get ahead at work, or simply unwind after a stressful day, Gallwey shows you how to tap into your utmost potential. In this fiftieth-anniversary edition, the principles of the Inner Game shine through as more relevant today than ever before. No matter your goals, The Inner Game of Tennis gives you the definitive framework for long-term success.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tennis is one of the most challenging sports in the world, requiring a heady cocktail of technical skill, physical prowess, and mental strength. It can be an intimidating game for beginners to pick up, while experienced club players often struggle to improve. And 99.99% of tennis players never play professional-standard tennis, while also dreaming what it would be like to do so. In this multi-purpose guide to the sport of tennis, a former highly ranked British junior provides a raft of practical tips for improving your game, while uncloaking the myths which surround the halcyon turf of the professional game. This book outlines all of the key basic tennis techniques, provides you with the best drills to improve your game, and explains how to develop the skills that professional players possess. It also handholds you through the world of junior tennis, and explains why all may not be as it seems inside expensive academies and the junior tennis circuit. And the book furthermore contributes to the ongoing debate regarding the importance of talent versus practice. Tennis Player 2.0 is your guide to becoming the tennis player you want to be, for players of all skill levels, while also outlining what it is possible for you to achieve in the game of tennis.

Book excerpt: In A Champion’s Mind, the tennis great who so often exhibited visible discomfort with letting people “inside his head” finally opens up. An athletic prodigy, Pete resolved from his earliest playing days never to let anything get in the way of his love for the game. But while this determination led to tennis domination, success didn’t come without a price. Here for the first time Pete speaks freely about the personal trials he faced—including the death of a longtime coach and confidant—and the struggles he gutted his way through while being seemingly on top of the world. Among the book’s most riveting scenes are the devastating early loss that led Pete to make a monastic commitment to the game; fierce on-court battles with Andre Agassi; and the triumphant last match of Pete’s career at the finals of the 2002 U.S. Open. "A thoroughly compelling read that really probes the hard drive of a champion...All the emotion and insight that Sampras seemes reluctant to express during his playing days come spilling forth." —Jon Wertheim, senior writer, Sports Illustrated

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 2004, two names have dominated men’s tennis: Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer. Each player is legendary in his own right. The Spanish Nadal is the winner of sixteen Grand Slam titles, including five consecutive French Open singles titles from 2010-2014, and is the only player ever to win a Grand Slam for ten straight years. Federer, from Switzerland, has spent over three hundred weeks of his career ranked as the number-one player in the world and has won twenty Grand Slam titles and two Olympic medals. But neither player’s career would have been nearly as successful without the decade-long rivalry that pushed them to rise to the peak of tennis excellence. Nadal and Federer have met thirty-eight times over the course of their careers, and have shared the distinction of being ranked the two best players in the world for an astounding six years in a row from 2005-2009. In Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal, international sports journalist Sebastian Fest uses information gleaned from his numerous interviews with both players over the last decade to narrate the rivalry, and its impact not only on the players, but on the sport itself. Documenting their respective wins and losses, hopes and disappointments, and relationships with their rivals, Fest formulates a unique biography of two of the greatest players of tennis.

Book excerpt: TURNING TENNIS PRO: I was a very young Tennis Pro in the late 1940s with jobs at the Mountain Ridge Country Club, NJ and the Mayfair Inn, Stanford, FL. I was not satisfied with my income. I was offered a lucrative job with the Gilman Paper Company, New York City, NY that required my moving to Montgomery, AL to promote and sell a packaging machine that filled chemicals into multi-wall kraft bags, manufactured by Gilman. I had a lot of success with this marketing venture and was moved back to the New York office. A career with Gilman looked good with an excellent pension for my old age. BUT, my love for TENNIS changed everything! My brother, Jack convinced Playboy Hotels International that his Great Gorge Ski Area was a great place to build a hotel that they were planning. He suggested I renew my Tennis Life by accepting the Director of Tennis with Playboy. My Tennis Career was back on track - which my book deals with.
