About the Product
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.
Top international tennis instructor Scott Williams presents his SMARTS
system for perfecting stroke technique. The system includes the following:
• Seeing
• Movement
• Adjusting
• Rotation
• Transfer
• Swing
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. Once in the mileage phase, techniques such as consistency,
placement, and court positioning are tested during game situations. The
fine-tuning phase focuses on preparatory skills such as conditioning,
nutrition, sleep, and the mental skills you need to consistently win.
This approach allows intermediate and advanced players to be in a
continual mode of physical and mental progression to truly enhance
their skills and tactical understanding of the game.
From improving shot selections to performing under pressure, this book
covers every aspect of the game. Become the player you’ve always wanted
to be with Serious Tennis.
