About this ebook
Elite tennis players like Rodger Federer or Rafael Nadal not only perceive everything that is happening around them, but they also foresee the next game situations. This "mental speed" lays the foundation to build master performances in extremely complex situations. The Mental Game: Cognitive Training, Creativity, and Game Intelligence in Tennis provides a theoretical framework in which anticipation, perception, attention, and memory processes play a big role in a tennis player's ability to win on the court. The diagnostic tools and useful examples aid the training of cognitive abilities. With more than 50 on-court practice drills to build game intelligence, every tennis player will strengthen their mental game and win their matches.
