Pressure Tennis

This volume takes players and coaches through every facet of author Paul Wardlaw's practice system, from mental toughness training to the demanding drills. Within the first week or two of use, the system raises players' levels of concentration, motivation, confidence and conditioning. More importantly, players develop a resilience to match-play pressure and welcome the challenge of even the toughest opponent. Wardlaw recognized that the keys to productive practices are high expectations, match-like conditions, drills that keep players fully engaged throughout the session and an evaluation system that objectively measures player performance. The Performance Index is a tool that allows coaches to asses execution and effort, monitor improvement throughout the season and more fairly rank players on the team.
