TENNIS MASTERY: The Most Complete Guide to Learning, Developing and Mastering the Sport of Tennis
The cornerstone of TENNIS MASTERY is David Smith’s “Advanced Foundation”… a learning progression that does not require specific changes in methodology for players to reach skilled levels of competitive play, yet allowing player evolution and creativity to emerge. This compelling book is a tennis best-seller and is gaining an ever-growing following among tennis enthusiasts.
Quantum Golf: The Path to Golf Mastery

The New Toughness Training for Sports: Mental Emotional Physical Conditioning from One of the World’s Premier Sports Psychologists
Loehr (Mental Toughness Training for Sports), who has helped train athletes for sports ranging from tennis to hockey, here concentrates on the emotional element of training, pointing out that toughness has nothing to do with the reputed killer instinct or insensitivity of the athlete. Rather, he believes that toughness depends on emotional flexibility, responsiveness and strength, and demonstrates itself in an athlete’s ability to perform consistently in the upper ranges of his or her skill. Loehr discusses in detail the problems of stress, innate in any competitive endeavor, and recovery from it. Striking a balance between stress and recovery, he maintains, is a constant must-win battle. The text is supplemented by self-analysis charts and questionnaires. This book should help nearly any athlete at any level.

Ron Waite is a certified USPTA tennis instructor who took up the game of tennis at the age of 39. Frustrated with conventional tennis methods of instruction and the confusing data available on how to learn the game, Ron has sought to sift fact from fiction.
In his seven years of tennis, Ron has received USTA sectional ranking four years, has successfully coached several NCAA Division III men’s and women’s tennis teams to post season competition, and has competed in USTA National singles tournaments. Ron has trained at a number of tennis academies and with many of the game’s leading instructors.
In addition to his full-time work as a professor at Albertus Magnus College, Ron photographs ATP tour events for a variety of organizations and publications. The name of his column, TurboTennis, stems from his methods to decrease the amount of time it takes to learn and master the game of tennis.
