Kurzbeschreibung
Stepping on a tennis court and playing is easy. Knowing what to do and getting good requires a totally different mindset. -
People approach tennis like they do many sports. They figure that if they just go out and play and play long enough they will ‘pick up’ everything they need to know, eventually. But we all know what happens when we take that approach. We never pick up everything we need to know and in a lot of instances the bad habits we begin with are the ones that plague us later on. -
Don’t be that person. -
“Tennis for Newbies” is not an instructional. It will not tell you how to hit a groundstroke, how to hold a racquet or how to smash a lob into your opponent’s Adam’s apple. What it will tell you is how to approach the game like you know what you’re doing and how to quickly gain the skills, ability and confidence so you will know what you’re doing. This book will tell you what tactics and strategies you can use to become the dominant player in your tennis circle or even the King or Queen of your park or country club. -
“Tennis for Newbies” was written for people who know absolutely nothing about tennis and for the player who thinks they are an intermediate or advanced player but plays like a beginner. (Just joking!) It is full of advice and counsel that everyone should receive before they begin to play, but no one ever provides. A lot of times people will not tell you this information because they are too nice, want to keep beating you or are afraid you would tell them off if they said anything. Don’t worry, “Tennis for Newbies,” will tell you the truth like a good best friend. -
Learn:
-Why John McEnroe calls today’s tennis “the lazy man’s game”
-What Brad Gilbert says about reducing errors
-Why Andre Agassi was all about the numbers
-What Maria Sharapova is really up to between points
-Monica Seles’s trick for getting good quickly
-How clothing can give you the edge in tennis
-Mind Games
-Tools of the pros
-How Etiquette can save your Life
-When to be Selfish as a Tennis Player
-Approaches to Hitting that make a Huge Difference; and
