The Art Of Coaching High School Tennis 2nd Edition: How To Transform Your Team With 88 Proven Tips,



Bill Patton is a Master Tennis Professional, a contributor to SportsEdTV.com, the number one sports education website in the world, and is currently coaching his 7th different high school with 30+ years of experience in the field. He has coached at several schools with many great results. Mainly, the players had a great time maximizing their games, and playing on the teams. He is now featured on coachtube.com, with three different tennis courses.


I was looking forward to a "how to" for coaching that might include drills, season planning, injury management, etc. What I found was a book full of useful information about working with school districts, athletic directors, players and parents to organize and run a successful tennis program at the high school level. Tons of great anecdotes and real life stories to back up the advice and knowledge of over 20 years of coaching experience. I was drawn further into the world of high school tennis than I ever anticipated including topics such as team unity, successful leadership, the role of team captains, goal setting, and player selection. A useful guide to existing coaches and a 'must-have" for prospective or new coaches!
