Serious Tennis
Serious Tennis is the most comprehensive tennis resource, containing expert instruction on each facet of the game. Learn with the world’s top instructors as they provide insights into modern tennis technique, training methods, and match strategy. Combining the sport’s latest physical conditioning methods with its most advanced mental training techniques, this book enables you to reach your full potential, regardless of skill level. In Serious Tennis, Williams breaks down the four main skill groups in the SMARTS system: stroking skills, playing skills, mental skills, and preparatory skills. He then identifies three phases of development-the core phase, the mileage phase, and the fine-tuning phase-that all players should follow to improve their game. During the first phase, stroking and playing skills are sharpened on the practice court.
