Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Golf is a disease, not a game. Especially when you take the game up in your fifties, as I did. After a series of injuries stopped my recreational tennis play, and my retirement from a lifetime of coaching and teaching tennis, I tried golf. It didn't take long to realize it was not an easy endeavor. Someone said, "You can't learn anything from a golf book, but you have to read a lot of golf books to find that out!" I found the gurus of golf instruction: Ledbetter, Pelz, and Hogan, who was said to have written the book with the secret! I did find one that really attracted me but in a somewhat different way.

The system includes the following: - Seeing - Movement - Adjusting - Rotation - Transfer - Swing In Serious Tennis, Williams breaks down the four main skill groups in the SMARTS system: stroking skills, playing skills, mental skills, and preparatory skills. He then identifies three phases of development-the core phase, the mileage phase, and the fine-tuning phase-that all players should follow to improve their game. During the first phase, stroking and playing skills are sharpened on the practice court. Once in the mileage phase, techniques such as consistency, placement, and court positioning are tested during game situations. The fine-tuning phase focuses on preparatory skills such as conditioning, nutrition, sleep, and the mental skills you need to consistently win. This approach allows intermediate and advanced players to be in a continual mode of physical and mental progression to truly enhance their skills and tactical understanding of the game. From improving shot selections to performing under pressure, this book covers every aspect of the game. Become the player you've always wanted to be with Serious Tennis.

Download or read book Seeing Serena written by Gerald Marzorati and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2022-06-14 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A riveting, revealing portrait of tennis champion and global icon Serena Williams that combines biography, cultural criticism, and sports writing to offer “a deep, satisfying meditation” (The New York Times) on the most consequential athlete of her time. There has never been an athlete like Serena Williams. She has dominated women’s tennis for two decades, changed the way the game is played, and—by inspiring Naomi Osaka, Coco Gauff, and others—changed, too, the racial makeup of the pro game. But Williams’s influence has not been confined to the tennis court. As a powerful Black woman who struggled to achieve and sustain success, she has emerged as a cultural icon, figuring in conversations about body image, working mothers, and more. Seeing Serena chronicles Williams’s return to tennis after giving birth to her daughter—from her controversial 2018 US Open final against Naomi Osaka through a 2020 season that unfolded against a backdrop of a pandemic and protests over the killing of Black men and women by the police. Gerald Marzorati, who writes about tennis for The New Yorker, travels to Wimbledon and to Compton, California, where Serena and her sister Venus learned to play. He talks with former women’s tennis greats, sports and cultural commentators—and Serena herself. He observes Williams from courtside, on the red carpet, in fashion magazines, on social media. He sees her and writes about her prismatically—reflecting on her many, many facets. The result is an “enlightening…keen analysis” (The Washington Post) and energetic narrative that illuminates Serena’s singular status as the greatest women’s tennis player of all time and a Black woman with a global presence like no other.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NOW WITH A NEW CHAPTER This is a special era in the history of tennis. The physicality and skill, as well as the commercial and public interest, have hit levels not seen before. At the heart of the game's growing appeal are four players: Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, and Andy Murray. Never in the history of the game have so few players dominated for so long and it is their rivalry that makes this the 'Golden Age of Tennis'. However, in 2013, the dominance of the Big Four came under sustained pressure and a new era beckoned. Break Point chronicles how the old guard met the challenge of the hungry young contenders determined to break their stranglehold on the Tour, from the genteel lawns of Wimbledon to the raucous bleachers of Flushing Meadows, and all points in between.

Download or read book A Modern Guide for Tennis Improvement written by John R Williams and published by . This book was released on 2020-12-10 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Williams shares his unique perspective on tennis improvement, the dietary and training regimens of the current professional stars plus insights into the future of tennis. John combines a lifetime of playing and teaching tennis to produce a book that can be used as a reference to aid the tennis-playing public in finding a pathway for improving and enjoying this great game. The book begins by listing the USTA (United States Tennis Association) National Tennis Rating Program (NTRP) guidelines. This handy guide presents the characteristics, limitations and strengths of all tennis players. It is an easy to understand numerical classification of every talent level from 1 to 7 and will help the tennis-playing public determine their own skill level and the proper chapter to read in order to begin real tennis improvement. In addition, future rule changes, coaching changes and timely advice on the most underrated, underappreciated and underused shot in tennis (the lowly drop shot). The drop shot is destined to be the offensive shot of the future and will give smaller, quicker players an additional weapon to counter the power in the modern game. The number of drop shots hit in the 2020 French Open set records in both the Men's and Women's single draws. It is inevitable in the women's game to expect more "droppers" in the future. About the author: John has a bachelor's degree in math and physics from the University of Charleston, a master's degree in astrophysics from Florida State University, and has completed three years of doctoral study in nuclear physics at Auburn University. John served as president and regional vice president for the Missouri Valley Professional Tennis Association (MVPTA) from 1983-1991, vice president of the Florida Professional Tennis Association (FPTA) from 1978-1981, and regional vice president for the Mid-Atlantic Professional Tennis Association (MAPTA) from 1973-1975. Taking an occasional time out during a 35 year tennis-teaching career, John was able to play pro level tournaments in the days of "sham amateurism" (before open tennis) and continued to play and win pro level tournaments (after 1968) until he was 40 years old. He was a 3-time West Virginia Champion, a two-time Ohio Valley Champion, a two-time Maryland State Champion and a two-time Western Maryland Champion. John won the West Virginia Open Doubles Championship 5 times and in 1973 won the Eastern Pro Singles Championship in Woodbury, NY along with a $1000 purse, (It seemed like a lot of money at the time). John was inducted into the University of Charleston Hall of Fame in 2001 and the Missouri Valley Professional Tennis Association (MVPTA) Hall of Fame in 1999. He was named the Pinellas County Florida Coach of the Year in 1977 and 1981, and his family was named the Oklahoma Tennis Family of the Year in 1996 and 1999. He has coached and developed players of all ages and abilities. They include state, sectional and national champions in multiple locales from Florida to Oklahoma. Even though he is appreciative of his industry accolades, John says, "My wife and children are my pride and joy."
