About this title

Synopsis

Whether you are new to the game or an experienced player, this book will help you find the keys to your peak performance and get you into the zone. You will master the art of being in the moment, breathing freely, acting spontaneously, and playing clean, unworried shots. By using the insights, exercises, and techniques presented in Zennis, you will make your game more successful, vital, and enjoyable.

Peter Sprang—a professional player and coach who has faced such opponents as Ivan Lendl and Boris Becker—teaches you how to defeat the demons of perfectionism, self-criticism, boredom, and expectations, and gives you the mental tools to conquer the killer on the court—fear. With seven unusual on-court exercises, meditation techniques, and a new way of practicing strokes—the Zen tennis form—this book will prepare you to play tennis like you have never played it before.

Includes information on how to create your own Zen tennis group.
