[...] Most importantly, from an educational viewpoint, Harold sincerely enjoys the progress all his students are making in their tennis.

Because of this man, I even have become more fanatic about tennis "Was introduced to the beautiful game of tennis by my parents whom i forever remain grateful for but the appreciation even became bigger when 4 years ago i became acquainted with Mr Harold Mollin. Not only does this man eat, speak and dream tennis, he has played and lived it and his match analysis and player profiles are spot on. Because of this man, I even have become more fanatic about tennis even more and its all thanks to him, my love for the sport has risen to greater heights. Since I left Bangkok last year after 7 great years, I still watch the game and love it with passion but its not the same with my man Harold by my side giving me the blow by blow bits of every game and play. He is a man who would be of great help to any individual with hopes of making it big on the tennis circuit." - Farai Ngoni B. It’s an awesome book... “It’s an awesome book… bought it for my kindle on amazon … great tips and awesome drills. I really like your drills… My student and I do the serve and volley drill she calls it the serve and volley game first to 10 lose at point if you double fault or miss the 1st volley … we also do the 8 deep volley or overheads without allowing any ball to bounce and the volley game half court only start the rally and play it out lose a point if the ball gets over your head … your drill are on point in reinforcing skills and tactical lessons…” - Clay R. Thanks Harold Mollin ! You are the MAN ! “I used to have a weak serve because hitting the ball at below the highest point robbed me of a full swing. This simple but effective point about hitting at the highest point helped me hit stronger serves and slice as well. Thanks Harold Mollin ! You are the MAN !” - Steve Teoh Get the best out of our students... “Although I’ve been coaching for many years, and we all have our own methods to get the best out of our students, I will always look and listen to what my peers are doing. Quite often I will invite a coach to my sessions to look at my students with fresh eyes, i never feel threatened or worried about losing a student, in fact more often than not it makes them feel even more important, and are grateful, I have used many of your quotes thank you Harold, I am planning to visit Bangkok in the future.” - Roger Nadal Tennis

The essential book from online tennis coaching sensation Ian Westermann, founder of EssentialTennis.com What’s the number one thing stopping you from playing your best tennis? Ian Westermann, founder of the world’s #1 online tennis instruction portal, Essentialtennis.com, will confidently say it’s an obstacle you probably never thought of: The ball. You might think this sounds ridiculous. The whole point of tennis is to hit the ball over the net and in, so how can the ball be the thing that’s standing in the way? In fact, this is why the ball is such an impediment: your desire to hit a good shot, with the right mix of power and spin, to a specific spot on the court, prevents you from striking the ball the way you should. In Essential Tennis, readers – players and coaches, alike – will learn how improving at tennis actually happens and how to easily implement these lessons and integrate them into better play on the court. Players will hit stronger shots, make fewer errors, and beat players who are currently beating them. Coaches will look differently at what it means to provide a student with a holistic learning experience. Essential Tennis contains technique-based instruction for executing groundstrokes, volleys, and serves, as well as progressions, drills, and mindsets players should incorporate. Westermann illuminates strokes, movement, strategy, and mental toughness – all proven to be successful over 20 years with clients of all ages and skill levels.

This book is not about how to hit the tennis ball. It's about where to hit the ball, when, and why. It focuses on playing tennis strategically, which is the quickest and best way to raise your game to the next level. For recreational players, developing a strategic approach to the game is the single, most transformative step you can take. In this book, you will learn how to take advantage of the strengths in your game, how to minimize your weaknesses, and how to attack your opponent's game. Most tennis players start by focusing on the mechanics of their strokes. That makes sense. If you can't hit the ball over the net and inside the lines, the rest doesn't really matter. Later, when you're hitting the ball well, it's fun to keep working on your shots. All tennis players love to hit the ball. Unfortunately, stroke improvement has a diminishing return. Early on you improve rapidly, but then the pace levels off. It can be frustrating to work, week after week, month after month, and not see any progress. Developing your strategic understanding of the game completely changes that dynamic. It's difficult to exaggerate how much focusing on strategy can improve every aspect of your game. At first glance, tennis is a marvelously simple game. All you have to do is hit the ball over the net and inside the lines one time more than your opponent does and you win the point. Do that often enough and you win the match. In truth, however, tennis is endlessly complex. That's why it becomes a lifetime passion for so many of us. It's a demanding amalgamation of muscle memory, hand-eye coordination, geometric understanding, stamina, and split-second decision making. Adding another layer of complexity, most of us model our games on professional tennis players. We see them win points by smacking the felt off the ball, going for the lines, serving aces, and hitting topspin lobs from outside the doubles alley. We want to play like that. The catch is we don't have unbelievable hand-eye coordination and don't practice eight hours a day. Is it any wonder, then, that about 80 percent of points in a recreational match end with an unforced error? That's right. Eight out of 10 points-and often more-end because you or your opponent hit the ball into the net or outside the lines. When we come out of top in a match, we like to think that we won. It's probably more accurate to say that we didn't lose. At the core of strategic success at the recreational level is reducing unforced errors. Cutting them by just one or two per set can lead to an exponential leap in matches won. This book are filled with strategies and tactics that you can adopt and adapt to improve your game. You don't need to apply all of them; use only the concepts that work for you. If altering the strategies better suits your game, go for it. Playing strategically will make your game more consistent. You'll become a better competitor, and you'll have more fun.

This book is for every player who feels stuck and frustrated by lack of improvement. It is the perfect guide to understanding and developing every aspect of the game. After writing Developing High Performance Tennis Players - a system to develop competitive players - I wanted to utilize my fifty years experience as a competitor, high performance coach, coaches' coach and instructor of players of all ages and levels to write a practical book with the most effective strategies for anyone to improve and enjoy the game.The book breaks tennis down into ten performance-determining factors that directly establish a player's performance level: consistency, precision, footwork, perception and anticipation, variation, spin, ball speed, camouflage, mental skill and decision making. Each chapter addresses one of these factors and presents simple and effective tips and exercises to develop it, ultimately improving overall performance. This guide is the perfect long-term companion for any player. It can be read cover to cover or selectively by focusing on the chapter that addresses immediate, specific problems or concerns.Play with Passion!Edgar Giffenig played for the University of Texas, completing degrees in business and exercise physiology.
