The Outsider - A Memoir (Large print, Paperback, Large type / large print edition): Jimmy Connors The Outsider - A Memoir (Large print, Paperback, Large type / large print edition)
Jimmy Connors
R696 R659 Discovery Miles 6 590 Save R37 (5%) Ships in 18 - 22 working days

Jimmy Connors is a working-man's hero, a people's champion who could tear the cover off a tennis ball, just as he tore the cover of country-club gentility off his sport. A renegade from the wrong side of the St. Louis tracks, Connors broke the rules with a radically aggressive style of play and bad boy antics that turned his matches into entertaining prizefights. In 1974 alone, he won 95 out of 99 matches, all of them while wearing the same white shorts he washed in the sink of his hotel bathrooms. In The Outsider, Connors tells the complete, uncensored story of his life and career, setting the record straight about his formidable mother, Gloria; his very public romances; and his famous opponents. Connors reveals how his issues with obsessive-compulsive disorder, dyslexia, gambling, and women at various times threatened to derail his career. The Outsider is a grand slam of a memoir written by a man once again at the top of his game, as feisty, unvarnished, and defiant as ever.

Now, this little book is an attempt to lay out some examples of relative positions/patterns that constantly occur in doubles. And then, how to react to those situations with intelligence and percentages on your side. What then should these ten pages be called? Are they rules, guidelines, dialogues, arguments, principles, fundamentals, theorems, postulations, edicts, considerations, decrees, reference points, laws, constructs, commands, criteria, standards, assumptions? Any, or all of these? This is an attempt to write down as simply as possible, the concepts that constitute a "doubles school" and that all good doubles players assume are "given." Pure percentage tennis. They have been tested and proven to be true at all levels of play. Watch a professional doubles match. See for yourself if they violate any of these concepts. And, if they do, is the point won or lost? What percentage of times?

Authentic Tennis (Paperback): Daniel Baird, Bill Lefko Authentic Tennis (Paperback)
Daniel Baird, Bill Lefko
R290 Discovery Miles 2 900 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

Authentic Tennis uses a holistic feel based approach to tennis. This Authentic approach makes the feel of the swing primary, while the mechanical method tends to make body mechanics primary. The mechanical method to the tennis swing emphasizes the form of the swing over the feel of the swing. "Feel" is something that cannot be seen. Each person's "feel" is completely unique and personal and the mechanical method does not recognize its immeasurable value. For Authentic Tennis, "feel" is its cornerstone and serves as the foundation of swing mastery. "Feel" is an individual process that makes it un-teachable through a mechanical system which separates the mind from the body. However, through mindfulness and awareness centered consciousness, "feel" becomes an integrating process that allows for natural mind/body. Authentic Tennis was written to help the millions of coaches, instructors, and tennis players unlock their unlimited potential and to tap into one's natural state of learning. No matter what your skill level, this revolutionary approach to tennis is perfect for anyone who strives to reach their personal best on and off the court.

Always dress in tennis clothes when engaging in tennis. White is the established colour. Soft shirt, white flannel trousers, heavy white socks, and rubber-soled shoes form the accepted dress for tennis. Do not appear on the courts in dark clothes, as they are apt to be heavy and hinder your speed of movement, and also they are a violation of the unwritten ethics of the game.
