The Art of Holding Serve

Tennis is a game of two meta-skills: Serving and Receiving.

Each meta-skill a combination of hundreds of other skills.

Holding serve is the most important of the two... and the focus of this book.

I’ve given more than 40,000 lessons, in 22 countries... and counting. 90% of the people I’ve worked with know tons about how to hit a ball... and incredibly little about how to play the game. 

Accordingly, the focus here is on Play. 

I’ll be blunt. If you are certain that good technique and good play go hand in hand... you’re not ready for this book. You need to chase your tail for awhile longer. 

But if you are one of the few who has this nagging feeling that there is a lot more to playing this wonderful and crazy and wonderfully crazy game than getting your body parts in the proper formation... this is the book you’ve been looking for!

EXAMPLES FROM THE BOOK:

⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ “I’d been playing tennis for years, probably taken 200 lessons, changed everything in my game. Tim showed me an entirely different way of looking at tennis. Initially, it seemed too good to be true. But after only maybe 6 or 7 lessons I people I’d been losing to for years! Not that it’s only about winning... as Tim always says.” 

⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ “Simple. Effective. Amazing.”

⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ “This old guy comes to courts and beats our best young player. In SANDALS! The next weeks he helps everyone with tennis and never once talks about how to hit the ball. I have been coach at tennis for many years and never see something like this. Amazing!”
