Provides the tools of mental toughness in a format which is incredibly fun and enjoyable to read. Extremely useful for both juniors and adults.....anyone who want to raise the level of their game. This book would be an ideal "team book" for coaches to provide to their players, so that each can develop/adapt their own personal approach to mental toughness. This book is a winner!

I bought this last fall for my fall high school players and they passed it around so much it eventually disappeared, so I am ordering two more. An easy to read story of how to improve in tennis competition.

Solid sport psychology concepts in an engaging format. I didn't put the book down until I was finished with the last page! Tennis players of all ages can relate to Tony and learn with him as he develops his mental game.

My daughter would not put it down. She immediately used ideas from the book to improve her performance in tournament play. She came off the court excitedly telling me about how she had dealt with negative self-talk, as well as improvements in her visualization and concentration. She was having more fun and playing better! (She beat a girl soundly in straight sets that just weeks before had beaten her.)

I think Vision Tennis is a great book. It teaches people how to deal with tough situations in the game of tennis. Being a tournament player, I was able to learn a lot of things that helped me to be a better player, both physically and mentally. I liked it when the author described how he played against the top players in his region. The author, Michael Zosel told you how not to choke and what you should do before playing a match. It ended up being a great story in the end. If you want to get better both mentally and physically you must read this book.

This book is anti-literature. The "story" is silly, cliched, and unconvincing. I threw the book out. I could have attempted to re-sell it, or even donate it to a local library, but I wanted to do my small part in making sure I didn't unnecessarily expose anyone else to Mr. Zosel's vision. I'm a little annoyed that Amazon requires that I award this book even one star.
