This book is for players who feel they may have stalled at a plateau below their potential and for the coaches who strive with their athletes to help them achieve new levels of performance. Breakthrough Tennis enlists the player to serve as his or her own teacher while focusing on three essential components of more advanced play: balance, timing, and concentration. The author is a college professor who applied the tools of systems thinking to tennis. The result is an approach that stresses simplicity and a style of play natural to each individual. It is based on the physics of tennis and the powers--and limitations--of human concentration. Whether you are a novice, a frustrated intermediate, or an advanced player stuck in a rut, you will achieve one breakthrough after another. Most important, you will enjoy tennis as never before. Derived from the Library Journal: Clark teaches "systems thinking" and applies the principles of physics and mental discipline to the game of tennis. He emphasizes the components of "balance, timing and concentration" as keys to improved playing and writes "to really learn tennis you need to explore it in your mind." Appropriately, the first half of his book is about the mental aspects of the game. The second half covers basic and advanced techniques and provides drills with accompanying photos. Clark's book is more helpful for the advanced player who has reached a playing plateau. Recommended for sports collections. J. Sara Paulk, Concord. Artikel-Nr. 80732
