Book Description

Excerpt from Lawn Tennis for Ladies S a rule an author writes a preface to explain or to apologize for a book. I shall do neither: I have tried to explain my meaning simply and clearly in the book itself, and I am optimistic enough to think that my favourite game is too popular to require an apology for increasing its litera ture, however unpretentious the attempt may be. Moreover, I am still too much affected by the brilliant and feverish glow of enthusiasm to dream of offering one. Two things only I wish to say. First, that I am writing with no academic pride, but only with a passionate fondness for what I consider a great sport, and with a keen desire to make others equally devoted.

Book Description

Excerpt from Tennis for Girls There are a number of books on tennis, but none has heretofore been written for the young girl just starting in to play. It may be argued that the game is the same for both boy and girl, therefore the same book will do for both. This is true to a certain extent. But just as there is a difference in the finished game, so there is a difference in the early training; and I believe that, properly started, a girls game may be developed to the point where it is much more like the boys game than it is at present. Tennis is a game requiring a quick eye and good judgment. Now a boys eye is naturally trained to judge a ball in flight; he plays at some kind of ball game 1 from the day he is strong enough to toss one. His body, too, responds more readily to what his eye tells him he must do. Therefore, a girl has to spend more time and attention in developing her eye, and in learning to get quick and accurate response from her muscles. There is no good reason why a girl should not be as quick as her brother; it is merely a matter of training.

Excerpt from Liberty Hall: A Story for Girls Passing a group of young people who were playing tennis on the Beacham court, and who interrupted their game to glance curiously at the strangers, the vehicle stopped at a big, rambling house set far back from the street, and the driver, descending, opened the rickety door with a flourish.

Book Description

Excerpt from Lawn Tennis: With a Chapter for Ladies I have followed in my arrangement of the subject-matter the same lines as Dr. Dwight - which, indeed, I think are the only lines compatible with at all systematic treatment. My grateful acknowledgments are due to the many gentlemen who have been kind enough to assist me by communicating their views on the game. For the historical part of the subject, I am mainly indebted to Mr. Henry Jones and Mr. Daniel Jones. Messrs. Carter and Co., the well-known seedsmen, were good enough to place at my disposal much valuable information, of which I regret to say I have only been able to avail myself to a very limited extent. For the omissions and imperfections of this work I apologize: they have partly been caused by the claims of other pursuits more serious even than lawn tennis. But I venture to hope that what I have written may yet prove of some interest to that great and ever-increasing body, the lawn-tennis playing community.

Book Description

Excerpt from Tennis To those who have worked hard to place Simply and Clearly before the reader that which he will find within, the best thanks of the Editor are due. That it has been no slight labour to supervise all that has been written he must acknowledge; but. It'has been a labour of love, and very much lightened by the courtesy of the Publisher, by the unflinching, indefatigable assistance of the Sub Editor, and by the intelligent and able arrangement of each subject by the various writers, who are so thoroughly masters of the subjects of which they treat. The reward we all hope to reap is that our work may prove useful to this and future generations. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description

The timeless guide to achieving the state of “relaxed concentration” that’s not only the key to peak performance in tennis but the secret to success in life itself—now in a 50th anniversary edition with an updated epilogue, a foreword by Bill Gates, and an updated preface from NFL coach Pete Carroll “Groundbreaking . . . the best guide to getting out of your own way . . . Its profound advice applies to many other parts of life.”—Bill Gates, GatesNotes (“Five of My All-Time Favorite Books”) This phenomenally successful guide to mastering the game from the inside out has become a touchstone for hundreds of thousands of people. Billie Jean King has called the book her tennis bible; Al Gore has used it to focus his campaign staff; and Itzhak Perlman has recommended it to young violinists. Based on W. Timothy Gallwey’s profound realization that the key to success doesn’t lie in holding the racket just right, or positioning the feet perfectly, but rather in keeping the mind uncluttered, this transformative book gives you the tools to unlock the potential that you’ve possessed all along. “The Inner Game” is the one played within the mind of the player, against the hurdles of self-doubt, nervousness, and lapses in concentration. Gallwey shows us how to overcome these obstacles by trusting the intuitive wisdom of our bodies and achieving a state of “relaxed concentration.” With chapters devoted to trusting the self and changing habits, it is no surprise then, that Gallwey’s method has had an impact far beyond the confines of the tennis court. Whether you want to play music, write a novel, get ahead at work, or simply unwind after a stressful day, Gallwey shows you how to tap into your utmost potential. In this fiftieth-anniversary edition, the principles of the Inner Game shine through as more relevant today than ever before. No matter your goals, The Inner Game of Tennis gives you the definitive framework for long-term success.
