An Essential Tennis Reference!

"As Tennis Coaches it is a constant battle to come up with and invent new training drills and exercises to keep our players interested and eager to learn.  Having used the Global Sports Coaching manual over the past 6 months I have found it an essential reference when planning weekly lessons.  It is a great coaching tool to have at hand, and as a coach I am constantly referring to it on a weekly basis."

Tracey Burrus, LTA CCA Coach South Leeds Tennis Centre, UK

Ideal for planning My PE Lessons!

"Dealing with young children in a school environment can be very challenging especially when taking them for sports activities some of which you may not be familiar with.  After buying the Global Sports Coaching Manual I have found the games and drills in the mini tennis section ideal for planning my P.E lessons, they are very clear and easy to follow and consequently my kids at school are loving tennis."

Alex McCunnall,  Primary School Teacher Caldew-lee Junior School,  Carlisle, England

Sure, there are the issues of natural talent, starting tennis lessons at a young age with good coaches, disciplined practice, strength and conditioning, and pure determination. These are without a doubt vitally important factors.But they are rather meaningless if you can’t hold your own on the mental level. The top players perform consistently well physically because they don’t screw up mentally. In other words, in order to allow your natural (and hard earned) abilities to be realized, you have to mentally – GET OUT OF YOUR OWN WAY!......Read More about how to master the mental game of tennis >>>>
