Download or read book Essential Tennis written by Ian Westermann and published by St. Martin's Griffin. This book was released on 2022-05-31 with total page 157 pages. 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.

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.

And you don't need to take endless amount of lessons! Just read this book and Get Better Now!Most people try tennis because it looks like fun and fairly easy to learn. Then they get frustrated with the sport because they didn't know what to do next or where to turn or what to expect in terms of costs, equipment, quality instruction or even expectations for learning. Yo! Tennis!! answers these questions and more. So, before you waste any more money or time - read this book. )- Key Tips for Improving Quickly (Yo! Tennis!! provides an entire chapter of very specific tips that most tennis players are currently doing wrong and when done correctly will improve their game immediately.)-Choosing the right racquet (Depending on your level of tennis and if you have not had an opportunity to discuss racquet selection with a coach or instructor then spend less than $40 on your first racquet. An expensive tennis racquet will NOT improve your game.)-Always have a target and a purpose (No one who reasonably plays tennis just runs around a court hitting tennis balls anywhere in general. We all try to hit the ball somewhere. However, to improve and win at tennis, you must be able to place the ball to a designated spot on the court. But, before you can do that, you must know where to tactically put the ball to achieve the best results.)-Keep the ball away from Waldo (Waldo is your opponent. You must always be aware of where your opponent is and hit the ball away from Waldo to make Waldo run to hit the ball on the run.)-Key rules you must know (there are 228 pages in the USTA/ITF rule book - not all of them are key) (To get started playing games Yo! Tennis!! has summarized the most common rules needed to have a good, fair and enjoyable game of tennis - without making a lot of enemies.)-Key Drills for maximum impact (Yo! Tennis!! provides a list of key drills and training recommendations for maximum impact for all tennis players.)-High School Tennis is not a gym class (The tennis coach is responsible for fielding his best players to win a match for his school and provide those players with the training to be their best. Which leaves little time for everyone else. Think of a high school tennis coach as compared to the head coach of the football or basketball program. The tennis coach has all the administrative responsibilities and all the specialist training responsibilities without any assistant coaches who teach position and performance skills. Thus, do not show up for your High School tennis team thinking you are going to learn much about how to play tennis.)-First Commandment of Doubles(The first commandment in doubles is: never criticize your doubles partner during a match, even when they make a mistake, especially when they make a mistake.)-Complete list of Tennis Terms (Tennis like any sport has its own language which is different from other sports. Yo! Tennis!! provides a complete list of the terms used throughout tennis programs. The sooner you learn to speak tennis the quicker you will improve.)-Proper Court Etiquette to prevent making enemies on the court (Poor court etiquette will upset more experienced players and make it harder to gain the support of others. A beginning and even intermediate tennis player, especially one seeking hitting partners, should be aware that one of the surest ways to alienate other tennis players is to display bad tennis manners/etiquette.)-Tennis is a game of Honor (Tennis is a game that requires cooperation and courtesy. Players make calls on their own side of the net and are expected to do the best they can to make an honest call and opponents always get the benefit of the doubt. All points played in "good faith" are counted.)
