There are not many DVDs, in any sport, that make you smile as you watch because the coach's infectious enthusiasm bubbles out through the DVD. This is one of those rare DVDs that teaches, reinforces, enlightens and `fills your tank up' with innovation, creativity, fun, and purpose!

The drills on this DVD are peppered with tips and skill reinforcement for singles and doubles and are designed to encourage a competitive, match-like environment throughout your practices. The drills work on areas such as:

  • All groundstrokes
  • Many specialty strokes
  • The serve

The beauty of this DVD is that the way it is shot. You see Jensen working out a group of players, drill by drill, and the DVD patiently endures through the entire drill without any editing or voice over - Jensen is truly a "one shot wonder." You see all the flaws and mistakes that you will see on your own courts. Through it all, Jensen patiently encourages, gives on-the-spot correction and encouragement and shares tidbits of wisdom that are part of his total package and value as a coach.

Jensen grew up in a tennis household; was the #1 junior in the world; HS and college All-American and excelled at the pro level - and is now imparting his advice to the women's team at Syracuse and on international tennis events on ESPN.

This DVD is worth every dollar and every minute of time you'll invest in it!

with Allen Fox, PH.D.;
former Pepperdine Head Men's Tennis Coach, 2x NCAA finalists; NCAA champion, Wimbledon quarterfinalist and a three-time member of the U.S. Davis Cup team

Tennis is more difficult mentally than most other sports. Because of its one-on-one personal nature, it feels more important than it is. Competitive matches can become highly stressful, and losing is painful. Emotions tend to get out of hand, with fears and nerves becoming difficult to control. Confidence comes and goes; the scoring system is diabolical; and everyone is at risk of choking, even the greatest players in the world. This book attacks these and other issues faced by players of all levels. Dr. Allen Fox's solutions are logical and straightforward, and most importantly, they have been tested on court and they work.

Chapters cover:

  • THE EMOTIONAL ISSUES OF COMPETITION
  • USING EMOTION TO HELP YOU WIN
  • REDUCING THE STRESS
  • GAME PLANS
  • MAINTAINING MENTAL EFFECTIVENESS IN THE HEAT OF BATTLE
  • THE PSYCHOLOGY OF DOUBLES
and much more.

featuring Brian Boland, University of Virginia Head Coach;
Back-to-back (2011 & 2012) NCAA Team Championship Runner-up, 2008 ITA 'National Coach of the Year', 6x consecutive ACC `Coach of the Year'/ACC Conference Championship

Virginia Men's Tennis and Brian Boland both personify excellence, consistency and sound fundamental play.

In this DVD, Coach Boland allows unprecedented "all access" to the first dual match of the season; setting the stage for a season of self-improvement, steady growth and team-building unity.

Boland provides insight into pre-match warm-ups, candid assessments of each player and their play, offers steady encouragement and purposeful, constructive criticism and then shares with you, the coach, what he is doing, why and where the opportunities for learning for your team can be found.

Boland shares his strategy of training and playing on clay courts in the early season. Clay surfaces reinforce sound footwork and provides other competitive advantages that cannot be found on hard surfaces.

Watch this DVD today and you will witness, firsthand, the focus, the dedication, the pushing, the fun, the frustration, and the tenacity of a Championship-caliber Virginia tennis team early on in the season. The net result for this team was finishing the year (second year in a row) as the NCAA Team Champion Runner-up!
