I found no information new and i still have to create a fitness program for myself. I was excited when i got this book, but dissapointed when I opened it. This book is ok at best. 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. I purchased this book to find a tennis workout program and what i found was a bunch of pictures describing various exercises. I could have got this information online in dozens of different websites.
Excellent as a comprehensive survey. This is an excellent book for tennis conditioning. Most readers would have to pick and choose which things to employ as only the most dedicated athlete would find the time for everything.
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. The explanations are very clear, simple. What a book. According to me, it is the best book to help an independant player to progress by himself.
Being a 1-2 times a week player, some parts don't apply to me but will the most serious. I strongly recommened this book for players, or parents of, looking to compete at the highest levels. The majority of this book can be used by players of every skill and dedication level. 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.
Upon reading it cover-to-cover, it was EXACTLY what I wanted, and got me excited to play again. I leafed through this one in the bookstore, and liked what I saw. I've never seen the in-depth, attention to detail, and one-step-at-a-time coverage this book has. 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.
