Playing Zen-Sational Tennis
Win More Matches, Have More Fun and Gain a Mental Advantage!
Authored by David Ranney
So, what is this Zen stuff all about? The word Zen is from the Japanese pronunciation of the Chinese word Chán, which can be approximately translated as “meditation” or “meditative state.”
OK, everyone knows you must get into this “meditative state” or “zone state” in order to play really well. You also hear a lot of players say that they need to focus well when they play. Unfortunately, these players don’t know the very specific things to actually meditate on, focus on, or what to think about when they play.
No, you don’t have to go to India, Japan or China and sit in a cave to learn to meditate or what to focus on because I will give you everything you need to do and know in this book.
And, when you focus on the right things, you will find your game improving very rapidly.
Specifically, you will:
* Learn the “Core Principles” of the mental game
* Learn what “Seeing the Ball” really means
* Learn the natural way of breathing when hitting a ball
* Learn what proper relaxation really means and why it is so critical
* Learn specific reasons why you miss a shot and how to fix it on the spot
* Learn the “Mother of all Tips” that will absolutely groove your strokes
* Learn some terrific drills to help you practice your mental game

David Ranney has been studying the mental game for over 25 years. He was ranked nationally 6th in Singles and 3rd in doubles, represented the U.S. at Junior Wimbledon, played on the Junior Davis Cup team and played for the University of Southern California when they were National Champions.
However, as good as he was, David used to yell and scream on the tennis court. He couldn’t ever seem to win matches against players that were higher ranked. He never felt that in important matches he played well enough to win. He got really frustrated and angry with himself and he didn’t know how to stop.
After years of playing with intense frustration, he took two lessons from Tim Gallwey when he was in his 30’s. That experience changed his tennis life forever and set him on the path of playing the mental game.
