“Since Reading ‘the Inner Game Of Tennis’ By Tim Gallwey So Many Years Ago, I Have Not Seen Another Book That Addresses Such An Essential Aspect Of Tennis So Well.”

Here Is What One Of My Book Owners Said
About Tennis Psychology And My Book
“I own a lot of tennis books, and your book is excellent. I have read some other mental tennis books, but I have a hard time finishing them because of all the boring Psychology terms which make me fall asleep. I love your book because it is written by a tennis player. It is easy to understand, and apply.”

So, How Did I Learn This Mental Stuff?
After years of playing with intense frustration, I discovered Tim Gallwey and The Inner Game of Tennis.
I took two lessons from Tim when I was in my 30’s and that experience changed my life forever and set me on the path of playing the inner game. It was like the weight of the world was taken off my back.
It was the most life changing experience
I had ever had and in literally 10 minutes.
After my two lessons, I had Tim come to the Jack Kramer Tennis Club where I was an assistant under Robert Lansdorp and there he gave clinics to all my students. I then watched a master teaching the inner game and and it was from watching Tim in action that I learned how to teach the Inner Game.
Here Is My Tennis Background
As a junior, I 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 we were National Champions. (Read more about me)
I admit, I wasn’t a great player, but I was a good one.
And I Was Taught
Like Most Players Are Taught.
Haven’t we been taught from an early age to try harder, work harder, and/or take more lessons, etc? That certainly worked for me up to a point and, like I said, I was a pretty good player. And, I wasn’t given any real solutions to how to win (except for strategy) or how turn things around when I was missing shots.
But Maybe You, Like I Did So Many Years Ago,
Need To Explore A Different Way Of Playing.
One That Is Proven To Work Every Time.
One That Is Just Not Understood
And/Or Taught By Most Coaches.
When you use the “Core Principles” of the mental game, the sky is the limit. You will be surprised at how much better you will play and how much more mentally tough you will be.
You Will, For The First Time,
Feel Like You Can Reach Your Potential
My concern is that, without spending some time on your inner game you will continue to struggle to reach your full potential, if you get there at all.
Most Players Are Not
Using These Mental Game Principles
“I just don’t know why.” Maybe no one has presented these ideas clearly and in such a way that they could truly experience what playing the mental game really means. Maybe, they just don’t know what playing the inner game really is.
When You Use And
Practice The Core Principles And My Mental Instructions,
I Can Guarantee That You Will See And
Experience Results Right There On The Court
With over 25 years of experience teaching the mental game of tennis, I’ve developed concepts, drills, and strategies that are proven to take your game to higher levels by developing mental toughness faster than traditional approaches. And with this mental training, you will continue to progress for the rest of your life because you will discover things about yourself that you never knew before.
Yes, these powerful concepts are easy to understand, but it will still take work and time.

What A Former World Class Player Says
Here is what my friend Ken Stuart wrote in the Foreword for my book. (Ken is a former world class player and the owner of Palisades Tennis Club in Newport Beach, CA).
“If you are reading these words, two things are certain: You are likely serious about your tennis and you believe there is something out there that is going to make you a better tennis player. This book is it!
During my tennis teaching days, I was often asked; ‘Ken, can you teach me a forehand, backhand, overhead smash, footwork, etc.’ I always answered in the affirmative and followed it with, ‘Oh yeah, I can also teach you how to play tennis because they (your strokes) are not much related to playing the game.
Rarely, if ever, do you have the opportunity to read something that has been written first hand. This book will make you a better tennis player because the information in it is tried, tested and true. And it comes from a great tennis player in his own right; David Ranney. Dave’s experience speaks for itself, and his advice in this book is solid. Here are some questions you can ask yourself to determine the value of the content in this book.
Who has a better forehand, Roger Federer or Andre Agassi?
-
-
- Who has a better backhand, Lindsay Davenport or Serena Williams?
- Who was a better player, Pete Sampras or Rod Laver?
-
The answer to each of these questions is that it is essentially indistinguishable. The logical conclusion is then that if ‘strokes’ don’t make the difference among all these greats then what does? EXACTLY!
It is the mental part of the game that each of these people is commonly great at. You too can become a much, much better player without changing your strokes. The great coach Robert Van’t Hof once said; ‘If you do the right thing at the right time in tennis you are likely going to win.’ The catch is how do you get there? This book will give you a path to follow. Use it and you’ll be miles ahead of people you are equal with now.
You need only to look back at how many countless hours you have put into the development of your strokes. Now you have to spend the same dedication on the mental part of your game. Dave Ranney will guide you through the steps you need to practice to become a much better tennis player.”
Here Is What A USPTA Teaching Professional
In Texas Discovered
“I have been reading your newsletters since about October of last year (2006). After much skepticism I purchased your book. Because it is not very expensive, I could afford to take a chance to read about what you teach. As a tennis instructor I am always curious as to what else is going on in the tennis industry to try to keep up with what is going on out there.
I Have To Say,
Your Book Has Helped My Game Immensely.
I have never felt IN MY ENTIRE LIFE I have ever played up to my potential. I played one year of college tennis at Lamar University in Beaumont, TX in 1987 – 1988. I got burned out (just very frustrated) and swore I was never going to play again. Long story short, I ended up teaching lessons in 1993 and have been ever since.
After reading your e-book (and I am not done yet) my game has elevated immensely. I have to tell you that I am starting to hit shots that I know that I can make. I should say, I am allowing my body to make the shots that I know it can make. Other people can actually see what I know that my body is capable of doing. I am also not getting angry and letting my conscious mind interfere with my other subconscious mind. I haven’t finished your book yet, because I am having so much fun focusing and concentrating on the spin of the ball to the blur of my racket and breathing through the bounce and the hit during rallies and from the serve through the return during those shots as well.”
