"The Tennis Manifesto is a tennis coaching philosophy and motivational phrases and ideas written in quirky, avant-garde, and sometimes dark, abstract ways, and laced with off-beat, whimsical, dynamic, mind-twisting illustrations.

The Tennis Manifestouses wrong punctuation and mostly strange and old typewriter fonts.

Words that are kind-of thrown on a page, sometimes not many words on a page. Sometimes words are spelled wrong.

It gives the reader the impression of some deep-thinking, but eccentric tennis coach, or the crazy homeless guy living under the freeway psycho-babbling all this tennis stuff.

A fun and trippy book to own and read.

It is not a tennis lesson in a book. It is motivational and inspiring concepts, cryptically funny, and sprinkled with hype-phrases, and abstract, short, one-page stories that make for an intriguing read even if you are not a tennis player.

Tennis drives the book, but I feel it bursts out of the traditional ""sports book genre square""."

"I have been coaching tennis for about 18 years.I taught myself to play tennis and only had one tennis lesson in my life.This book came about from me writing down phrases I used to tell my daughter while I was training her to play competitive tennisI have never written a book and don't read much at all, so I made this ""diary-type"" thing that would intrigue me to read it if somebody else wrote it.The book became increasingly dynamic and strange as I wanted it to show my interest in weird b-movies, beatnik poetry, abstract art, underground music, and at the same time, expressing my knowledge of tennis and out-of-the-box coaching style and concepts and my own tennis dogma."
