1.0 out of 5 stars
Don't have high expectations,
By Rick (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Nick Bollettieri's Mental Efficiency Program for Playing Great Tennis (Paperback)
This book is very close to useless. Bollettieri is thorough about personal goals in terms of what anyone should strive for but, he spends too much time defining aspects of personality rather than give practical tools for implementing them. I found the writing no more technical than a junior high text with very few insights about mentally preparing yourself for tennis or life. He should have included real-world examples of how he instituted his techniques with some of the world's best players that he's coached (i.e. Becker, Agassi, Courier, Seles, and Pierce). Instead, we are subjected to his general defenitions of aspects of personality and goal setting. These are things available in any self-motivation manual. The one saving grace was small excerpts that speak of his early years and involve interesting anecdotes from his past. But, even these are mildly egotistical in their telling and do very little in terms of helping the reader with their development. Overall, a very slow and mostly useless read.

This review is from: Nick Bollettieri's Mental Efficiency Program for Playing Great Tennis (Paperback)
The forms in the book are probably the best part of it...they give you patterns to follow for planning out goals and evaluating your performance.
