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.
