Book Reviews of The Tennis Handbook For Parents: Starting Your Kids in Tennis and Helping Them Stick With It
Book Review: Okay, but mostly anecdotal.
Summary: 1 Stars
Successful tennis parent tells her story. Gives you a feel for American junior tennis. This has no insight on a path to world class tennis performance. I would even say it is inadequate for insight into elite level college tennis development. This is strictly to understand American junior tennis.
Summary of The Tennis Handbook For Parents: Starting Your Kids in Tennis and Helping Them Stick With It
Jackie Roberts first handed her junior tennis player a tennis racquet when he was seven. He didn?t like it much so it went nowhere until two other junior players, who were friends, joined a local tennis program. He picked the tennis racquet back up and hasn?t put it down since. Tennis tournaments, tennis expenses, tennis programs, tennis coaches, nutrition, balancing school, family, and friends with being a junior tennis player, and finally going onto college to play tennis on scholarship are all in her tennis handbook for parents. In a voice that is warm, direct, and practical she offers junior tennis parents a guided tour through the maze of junior tennis. ?Roberts discusses the major facets of tennis for children and young adults: how to parent the player through the competition.? ?
