    About this ebook

    More Than Just the Strokes: Personal Best Tennis in Clubland and Beyond is a comprehensive common sense guidebook designed to assist the reader in reaching the apex of his or her tennis game. Based on over thirty- five years of playing and coaching experience, this book is not simply another “system.” Rather, it serves to direct the reader through stages of self-realization and confidence boosting by elaborating not only on improving the physical characteristics of one’s game, but also on crucial and often- overlooked mental and emotional techniques.

      This one is very readable, using a series of short essay-like chapters, each about a specific topic. I've already referred back a couple times and the overall tone and thinking align well with my approach. It also resonated with me that he referenced other research (especially Loehr's "mental toughness" and "peak performance"), and, in the course of about 2 pages, referenced several sources with whom I identify (Charles Schwab Sr., Gwynn - on the same day he was inducted, and Tom Peters: "Shut up and compete.").
