The
Zen of Tennis: A Winning Way of Life
 Respect, etiquette, fairness, focus, and a good
attitude translate into success on the tennis court, and in everyday
life as well. This sentiment is perfectly captured by author
Nancy Koran in her sport book The
Zen of Tennis: A Winning Way of Life.
Calling upon her deep admiration for and love of the game, Nancy, a
celebrity tennis instructor and motivational consultant, is joined by
more than 50 tennis greats and celebrities as they explore the mindset
that promotes good sportsmanship and success, both on the court and
off. Rod Laver, Evonne Goolagong, John Newcombe, Oliver
Stone, Kenny Rogers, Regis Philbin (who read passages from the sport book on
his ABC™ talk show), and many others share their wit and
wisdom as they reveal what's in the hearts and minds of "winners."
 The Zen of Tennis: A Winning
Way of Life is written in an easy-to-read Q & A
format, and is filled with anecdotes, witticisms, cartoons, and
real-life success stories. It is also packed with tennis tips
and techniques that will assist you in all aspects of your game,
including how to effectively communicate with your doubles partner; how
best to support your kids physically, mentally, and emotionally; and
how to choose the best instructor for yourself and get the most out of
your lessons. The book also teaches you effective ways to
control your emotions while learning from your mistakes.
Learn
from over 50 tennis luminaries and celebrities what makes leaders
successful and athletes champions in this scintillating sport book.
By implementing the Zen concepts in this book, you will feel more
comfortable on the court and more confident and proficient as a player,
and you will not surrender your poise to domineering
opponents. Through slowing your pace and becoming conscious
of your old habits, you will start to enjoy the feeling that comes from
relaxing and doing your best at a game you love. That's the
most important aspect of playing a sport: to do it for the love and
enjoyment of the game and truly give it your best effort.
This is the same thought process that will enable you to be
your best in business, school, home, and throughout life.
Regardless of your age or level of play, The
Zen of Tennis: A Winning Way of Life will improve your
tennis game and also help you achieve greater happiness and success
in everyday life.

nicely presented guide to tennis matters and is, in its larger sense, a
call for courtesy in all human matters."
