I found no information new and i still have to create a fitness program for myself. I could have got this information online in dozens of different websites. This book is ok at best. I was excited when i got this book, but dissapointed when I opened it. I purchased this book to find a tennis workout program and what i found was a bunch of pictures describing various exercises. All this book has is a bunch of scattered information, the authors should have tied it all together with a comprehensive fitness program at the end, which would have made this book great.
Most readers would have to pick and choose which things to employ as only the most dedicated athlete would find the time for everything. This is an excellent book for tennis conditioning. Excellent as a comprehensive survey.
According to me, it is the best book to help an independant player to progress by himself. And the CD is fabulous: fabulous to watch the exercices, fabulous to avoid wrong positions, wrong movements,.Thank you very much for this conditionning Bible. What a book. The explanations are very clear, simple.
The majority of this book can be used by players of every skill and dedication level. I strongly recommened this book for players, or parents of, looking to compete at the highest levels. Like the title states, this is a very complete and thorough conditioning book designed for the needs of the tennis player. With chapters on condition assesment, flexibility, strength, agility and others, a complete routine can be established that players of all skill levels will enjoy. Being a 1-2 times a week player, some parts don't apply to me but will the most serious.
I've never seen the in-depth, attention to detail, and one-step-at-a-time coverage this book has. I leafed through this one in the bookstore, and liked what I saw. All books on conditioning will get you into shape, but THIS book was the best for tennis I have ever come across. As a 4.0 level player, I was looking for a book that gave me step-by-step instructions to beef up my conditioning - while focusing on the tennis side in a big way. Upon reading it cover-to-cover, it was EXACTLY what I wanted, and got me excited to play again.
