Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essential book from online tennis coaching sensation Ian Westermann, founder of EssentialTennis.com What’s the number one thing stopping you from playing your best tennis? Ian Westermann, founder of the world’s #1 online tennis instruction portal, Essentialtennis.com, will confidently say it’s an obstacle you probably never thought of: The ball. You might think this sounds ridiculous. The whole point of tennis is to hit the ball over the net and in, so how can the ball be the thing that’s standing in the way? In fact, this is why the ball is such an impediment: your desire to hit a good shot, with the right mix of power and spin, to a specific spot on the court, prevents you from striking the ball the way you should. In Essential Tennis, readers – players and coaches, alike – will learn how improving at tennis actually happens and how to easily implement these lessons and integrate them into better play on the court. Players will hit stronger shots, make fewer errors, and beat players who are currently beating them. Coaches will look differently at what it means to provide a student with a holistic learning experience. Essential Tennis contains technique-based instruction for executing groundstrokes, volleys, and serves, as well as progressions, drills, and mindsets players should incorporate. Westermann illuminates strokes, movement, strategy, and mental toughness – all proven to be successful over 20 years with clients of all ages and skill levels.

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—part of the bestselling Inner Game series, with more than one million copies sold! “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. No matter your goals, The Inner Game of Tennis gives you the definitive framework for long-term success.

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: 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.

This book was released on 2016-04-10 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: GAME! SET! MATCH! THOSE ARE THE three most important words in tennis. 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.
