as an avid tennis player and fan, i've often ruminated on a thought
attributed to boris becker: 'the fifth set of a grand slam final
has nothing to do with tennis'...

jeff greenwald's entertaining cd fills in the blanks as to all that becker beheld; the intricacies of the mental game...

as a carrer skeptic, i approached my first listen with caution.
jeff's easy going style and real day to day, match to match ideas
won me over. importantly, i played better! immediately worth the price of admission...

there's something here for every player. i highly recommend you give it your ear.

Greenwald explores the paradox of competition: how wanting to win makes us lose. He encourages players at every level to forget the outcomes and learn how to savor the experience of play, which releases their winning potential. In what is much more than a tutorial, he answers questions and illustrates his points with vivid anecdotes from his sports psychology practice and his own tournament experience. He explains what transformed his own game from frustration to joy, and his performance from mid-rank to championship.


Mr. Greenwald's CDs are EXCELLENT!   October 22, 2002

I consider myself a very good athlete, but I used to lose tennis matches to lesser athletes because I would get tight mentally and give points/games/sets away. Mr. Greenwald's advice on mental aspects of tennis has had a greater positive impact on my game than anything else I have tried. Speed, strength, stamina, racquets, shoes, sunglasses, etc., cannot help you win tennis matches if your mind does not allow you to play like you practice. Mr. Greenwald's breathing techniques alone have allowed me to win matches I would have lost in the past. His CDs are full of techniques that should allow anyone to reach their full potential (or get in the "zone" to which Pete Sampras, for example, refers in interviews after he plays unbelievably well). They contain so much useful information that I still find them helpful even after listening from beginning to end numerous times on my way to and from work and tournaments. Mr. Greenwald is an excellent speaker and he keeps you engaged from beginning to end with practical techniques, personal breakthroughs, and mental strategies. Now, I am hitting tennis balls as hard and cleanly in matches as I do in practice.
