    Developing High Performance Players

    I have been a HP coach for over 30 years. Whether you are just starting out as a coach or a tennis veteran, Edgar’s approach is very concise, methodical and founded on exceptional professional experiences throughout his playing and coaching journey. I would recommend this book to any coach or parent coach looking to expand their core knowledge and principles regarding developing a complete tennis athlete. Edgar is a professionals professional, yet his book is organized and presented in a way that any tennis enthusiast can gain knowledge to be a better player or coach.

    Must have in your tennis library

    Great book with so much information. I have tagged so many pages to refer back to. The information encompasses all levels of play, beginners up to top D1 players. If I had to pick my favorite part it would be Laws of the Battle. Seems like I am reviewing this with my players all the time. The Drill Library is great too, well thought out to help develop players of all levels. Definately worth your time and money. Thanks Edgar, looking forward more of your work.

    This book is fantastic for any level tennis coach or player. Edgar is a world renowned coach and shares tons of his ideas on developing tennis players. As an NCAA D1 collegiate coach, I keep it on my desk and often use it as a resource for drills, etc.
