Whether you are a tennis novice, a beginner ready for competition,
a club player with an eye on the tournament trophy, or a
professional stuck in a rut, Vic Braden's Mental Tennis shows you
that your mind can be the single best tool to reconstruct your
game. In his new breakthrough book, Vic Braden demonstrates how to
improve your physical performance dramatically and develop a
winning mental attitude - both on the court and off. Vic Braden is
America's favorite tennis coach, recognized and respected by
professionals and amateurs alike. In addition to being a licensed
psychologist, he has been a major force in tennis - as a player and
a teacher - since the early 1960s. In Mental Tennis, he draws upon
his unique background and years of personal research - tested on
thousands of his students - along with the latest technical and
statistical information, and shows you how to maximize the
potential of your mind to achieve peak playing skills, while
boosting your confidence and enjoyment of the game. With his
characteristic humor and charm, and using entertaining and
instructive examples of famous players and matches, Vic Braden
identifies common problems that can undermine your performance on
the court, and explores their causes. He provides important
psychological insights, and expert advice on how to overcome mental
obstacles - such as self-doubt; lack of focus; guilt about winning;
the stress that stems from a fear of losing, being humiliated, or
letting down your doubles partner - and challenges you to set
realistic and healthy goals for improvement. In addition to methods
for long-term progress and fundamental behavior modification, Vic
Braden's Mental Tennis also provides quicktriggers for immediate
results; effective strategies to reverse years of bad habits; and
tips on how to psych out your opponent, how to perform well under
pressure, and how to maintain concentration and tune out external
distractions. A final section of the book reveals Vic Braden's
professional and personal analyses of the attitudes and techniques
of some of the greatest modern tennis players - from Boris Becker
and John McEnroe to Steffi Graf and Martina Navratilova - as well
as stars from earlier eras, including Jack Kramer, Pancho Gonzales,
and Rod Laver, as he guides us through their mistakes and triumphs.
Vic Braden's Mental Tennis is an invaluable tool to help you think
and play like a winner from the very first point in the match -
with rewards that last a lifetime.
