“Ten thousand hours is the magic number of greatness”

 Fortunately, it doesn’t take 10,000 hours to enjoy and become competent in tennis.  However, it does take a considerable amount of repetitions and purposeful practice to reach your potential.

The best way to improve is by devoting practice time to work on a certain aspect of your game and to play sets or matches.  Practices could focus on technique, strategy, and tactics.  Match play will help you with the mental side of the sport and how to perform under pressure.  You need both to reach your potential.  You will probably fall apart in a tournament or team match if all you do is rally with a friend.  If you play only matches, you will probably stay in your comfort zone and won’t expand your game that the low-pressure practices can provide. 

Whether you are a coach looking for some fun and practical drills for your tennis players or you’re a tennis player looking to improve your game, this book will enhance your practice sessions and help create some remarkable tennis.
