Who SHOULD Read Tennis Mastery?

      Many books are written with a select audience in mind. Historically, tennis books are no different…until NOW!


TENNIS MASTERY is written to be both informative and enjoyed by ALL LEVELS of players. From beginners to top-ranked players, TENNIS MASTERY offers new insights as well as a new PERSPECTIVE in the arena of tennis learning.
      In addition, TENNIS MASTERY will help tennis teaching professionals "reach" their students. All to often, players are given proper instruction only to question such instruction when it doesn’t seem to ‘work’ immediately! For those pros who believe in teaching players the skills that will lead to true "player development" (as opposed to offering momentary satisfaction through "instant gratification" techniques), TENNIS MASTERY will aid in creating a greater level of trust between student and instructor.
      Read further on how tennis mastery can help every level of player... and why you won’t want to miss this revolutionary book!


Tennis Mastery for the Teaching Professional
To those pros who teach not for immediate gratification, but are dedicated to training students within techniques that are required to reach more advanced levels of play: Tennis Mastery is designed to help those pros "convince" their students that such methods will indeed lead to significantly higher levels of skilled play.
      Tennis Mastery does NOT promote transitional teachings that require students to change from an ‘introductory method’ as higher levels of skill are desired. On the contrary, Tennis Mastery introduces players to the "ADVANCED FOUNDATION"…a system of learning that is exactly as the name implies: Teaching methods that lead directly to Advanced play without specific changes taking place.
      If you have students who come to you and complain they have not improved in a decade, or if they resist making necessary changes in their game, then Tennis Mastery is a must for them to read.
      Unless you teach specifically to instant gratification or only teach to appease the student’s (and your!) ego, then you will be delighted in the message and the methodology presented in Tennis Mastery.

Tennis Pros who want to convey new ideas to their students will have a true resource that will reinforce such new strategies; TENNIS MASTERY explains clearly what students will expect and what the consequences of specific learning practices will have on their long-term progression.

Tennis Mastery for the Beginning Player
You are in good hands! The tennis "foundations" taught in this book will provide you with a "linear learning progression". This means that from the first page of instruction to the last, the learning will build upon each concept. It isn’t important for you to have the goal of becoming a "world-class" player, (unless you do indeed want to be a world-class player!) However, as I have mentioned, one of the mistakes most books make is to assume that players who want to achieve tennis greatness should be taught differently than those who just want to play casually or socially. On the contrary! Anyone who wants to learn tennis, should be taught methods which will not only allow them to play tennis for fun, but the methods taught should offer them the opportunity for continued improvement and success AT ANY LEVEL THEY HOPE TO ACHIEVE! Thus, if you are a true beginner understand that you need not pursue tennis as a career or livelihood! Likewise, if you have an earnest desire to pursue tennis to your greatest potential, the methods here will give you the tools and knowledge needed to reach those goals as well!

There are a wide range of beginner players who, if they continue to use such beginner or ruedimentary form, they will never move past such limiting form to achieve a higher level of tennis ability. Such techniques prevent players from reaching their TRUE tennis potential!

Tennis Mastery for the "Intermediate" Player
The "intermediate" player is perhaps the largest segment of those who will be reading this book. The vast majority of players who indeed purchase instructional books or videos are those who have been playing tennis at least a little while.
      If you have recognized that you are not improving or you know that you are doing things wrong in hitting a tennis ball, then you must first understand WHAT you are doing wrong. A lot of players know that they don’t hit the ball correctly. The problem is that they don’t know what exactly is wrong with their stroke or form. Tennis is certainly complex enough that many players may be doing several things wrong on just one stroke! This concept alone tends to make the intermediate player more resistant to change. Knowing that several things need to be changed make some players very nervous about beginning a course of action that they hope will correct the incorrect methods they possess! The human ego is a very delicate device! Nothing is more humiliating to an individual than the recognition that not only have they been doing something wrong…but that they may have been doing it wrong for a LONG TIME!
      After reading Tennis Mastery, you will come away not only knowing WHAT you have been doing wrong, but you will also head to the courts with the knowledge of HOW to correct that which is indeed wrong! The strength of this book lies in the teaching tools and "Key Position Points" teaching methods that provide ample strategies for you to quickly gain the stroke foundations needed for continued growth and improvement.
      The intermediate player will want a clear "blueprint" in which to establish a path to follow. Tennis Mastery will provide all the teaching tools to overcome previous stroke patterns that are fallible. Also, the depth of intellectual understanding of why certain methods lead to skilled play and other methods can guarantee a life of perpetual mediocrity! Too many intermediate players know they are using poor strokes. And many of these players can recognize proper form and understand what they are doing wrong! For the vast majority of intermediate players, it is far more comfortable to hit with poor form we are familiar with and lose than it is to hit with what we know is proper form yet is uncomfortable.
      Look at it this way, if we continue to avoid that which we are trying to change, we will never change that which we are trying to avoid! Think about it.
      Tennis Mastery will help you come to grips with the reality of this enigma. And, more importantly, it will give you the tools to make the transition complete. While dedication and perseverance are important to making these changes, without the understanding and the proper instruction, any hard work will be haphazardly spent, and, most likely, be futile in your quest for becoming a much better player.

Intermediate players will discover both techniques and playing strategies that will propel them past "average" levels of play and move them to "skilled" levels.


Tennis Mastery for the "Advanced" Player
      Perhaps the smallest group of readers is the advanced group. There are several reasons for this. First, advanced players generally feel they have mastered most of the proper strokes and strategies in tennis. That is, they believe they have already learned many of the concepts presented in a book such as this. Second, advanced players believe they should spend most of their time "fine-tuning" their game on the court. They seldom feel the need to spend additional time reading about things they think they already know!
      Advanced players are sadly mistaken on both of these counts. It is even more important for the advanced players to learn everything they can about tennis. The one item that separates one advanced player from another might just be a subtle piece of knowledge or strategy that can only be picked up from such processes. Jimmy Connors once said, "The day you say you know it all about tennis is the day you do indeed stop learning!" If you are an advanced player, explore every opportunity to learn more.

Advanced junior players to professionals, TENNIS MASTERY is designed to help any player reach their tennis goals.
