Summary

"Play as hard and well as you can and have fun doing it," says America's favorite tennis coach, "and the winning will fall into place." This "laugh and win" philosophy has become Vic Braden's trademark, and he brings this spirit of humor and charm to his book, making it not only comprehensive and authoritative but also the most entertaining doubles guide available. Drawing upon the wisdom of more than fifty years in the sport as well as his expertise as a licensed psychologist, and incorporating the latest biomechanical information from his experience as a leading sports researcher, Braden offers proven strategies and superb instruction to help you achieve peak performance on the court while also having the time of your life.
