 nothing new January 5, 2007

Although the author clearly thinks they have discovered something new and insightful, they offer minimal advice that any father doesn't already know. The fact that the author is a tennis pro and has the ability and personal skill to make it easy for his kids to take up the game makes this book irrelevant to most parents with normal jobs living in the suburbs. The author is clearly impressed with himself, which is annoying, especially because the good points he makes, could have been spelled out more succinctly and effectively in a couple pages. I would not waste your time with this one.
 Change the way you raise your children March 15, 2006
Reading this book was probably one of the best things that I did. In fact, I did eventually by another one as a gift to my friend. I could see lot of things which I have been doing wrong with my son. I learned to put less pressure on him to perform on the tennis court and get him to enjoy the sport more. In fact, it has improved his love for the sport and improve his mental strength as well. It is a must read for all parents.
A must read for all tennis parents and Coaches! January 21, 2006

I just have to comment on the review written by R.D.H. It is obvious that this person is envious and jealous of Wayne Bryan's success with raising his sons to be great champions. I also personally know Wayne Bryan and he practices what he preaches. He and his wife Kathy, have raised two incredible sons to be great people and gracious champions! As a tennis parent and tennis enthusiest this book has helped me to be a positive force in my kids lives. I would recommend this book to ALL parents and coaches so they could be a positive force in their kids lives.
A very good guide for concerned parents September 7, 2005

This is a very good book, and I have been recommending it to other parents, especially with children in competitive tennis. We tennis parents are rather all alone, and we need help. This books is comforting and is a great source of help. However, a reader should take care not take the book too seriously. For example, it is impossible to be positive and praise your child all the time w/o criticizing... there is a limit. Also, I wish Wayne gave more examples of "side door" to inspire. No book is perfect, but this is a great book for parents who want their children to be successful in life and become a champion!

I didn't read the whole book as I started to gag on the second paragraph (where the author states how he is against pushing children to fulfill their parent's dreams). I've known Mr. Bryan most of my life. He's a tennis teacher and plays in a band. His boys had tennis rachets and guitars in their hands before they could walk. He has about as much expertise about raising children as my pet goldfish. He has succeeded in life because he was blessed with talented, intelligent boys and a wonderful grounded wife.
