“Playing the Score” will help you think like a coach and learn what tennis coaches know, plus apply these coaching ideas and tips to your game during matches! You will discover proven tactics and techniques to practice and use when you are up in a set and how to make it easier to close it out.

Each chapter provides practice drills and or games and a key points section at the end for quick reference. “Playing the Score” is something new and easy to apply to quickly improve your match play!
There is a need for this information because in most tennis matches players don’t have the luxury of a courtside coach. Instead players must learn to coach from within for competing and developing the mental skills needed with regards to what is happening in their specific match.
Each chapter is focused on a situation that occurs in a tennis match. You will also find some valuable worksheets including; how to scout your opponent in the warm-up, how to develop your “go to” plays and more! Finally the last chapter includes tips and questions to ask for each changeover that can happen in a set based on the score. For example, if the score is 5-4 find out what should you be thinking during that changeover?
So read on and discover and develop your tennis coach within!
