Summary
Details

""If you teach a man anything, he will never learn.""

-George Bernard Shaw

People learn by doing. The best instructors guide their students by setting up exercises or drills that allow them to understand concepts and develop their skills. However, there is not one way to hit a tennis ball, nor is there one way to guide your students. Everybody learns differently, and every instructor has their own style of ""teaching.""

Practice with a purpose. This book will give the recreational player guidance on their practice time or match play to improve their techniques and tactical decisions on the court. Some players only like to play matches, and other players only like to rally. Ideally, you should strike a balance between the two. Beginning players will start out with a lot of practice time focusing on technique, and intermediate to advanced players will lean more toward match play focusing on strategy and tactics. Either way, after the initial warmup, there should be a challenge or goal for your practice time or match play. The challenge should be either cooperative or competitive.

The dictionary definition of remarkable is ""worthy of attention."" We believe with our seventy-plus years of combined experience with tennis camps, PE classes, clinics, group and private lessons that this book is worthy of your attention. If you find one idea, drill or tip in this book that will benefit you as a player or as a coach, then we will consider this to be a success.

Good luck, and may you always return the last shot.
