Book Description
Skill alone won't make tennis players great-they must also have the mental toughness it takes to perform under pressure. To prepare for the demands of competitive match play, look no further than the training system found in Pressure Tennis.
Tennis coach Paul Wardlaw has created and refined his extraordinary training program through 14 successful seasons at the college level. His system teaches you how to design and implement effective practice sessions using pressure drills that simulate match-like conditions.
With Wardlaw's system in place, you will notice immediate improvements in concentration, motivation, confidence, and conditioning. More important, players develop a resilience to match play pressure and welcome the challenge of even the toughest opponent. To help evaluate progress, Wardlaw has also included a novel Performance Index that provides coaches with a more objective measure of each player's execution, effort, and ranking on the team.
Whether you're a tennis player or a coach, you'll want the demanding drills and practice plans found in Pressure Tennis to help instill the strong mental skills necessary for a winning season.
