Teaching Materials

[Tomek_Pl]

I'm looking for materials that would be useful for teaching others playing tennis. I'm an instructor of tennis in Poland, but here, we don't have many publications so I have to order some books or videos. I can spend up to 150$ by now, but want to do a good investment.
I would like to find out lots of drills teaching proper technique. I don't want to be a teacher that says 100 times that somone does sth wrong, but rather give him useful technique drills.
I have some basic books in Polish, but now, I'm looking for sth fresh. Especially I would like to find good tips on modern FH and BH and serve.

Coaching Tennis is a good one to have in your library. Also, Serious Tennis is a good one as well. Yandells books are good as well as Bradens. I wouldn't purchase Bradens strategy books though.

Chuck Kriese. I second the recommendation. I think it's a great book. Maximum Tennis by Nick Saviano is also one of my favorites.

World Class Tennis Technique is also a good reference if you want to get into more detail about mechanics.

The Physics of Tennis (or something like that) by Howard Brody is a good reference if you're looking to derive strategy from scientific facts and theories relating to racquet technology, court geometry, etc. He also has a book called Tennis Science for Tennis Players that I have not read yet.

The Inner Game Of Tennis by Tim Galloway (sp?) is a good book about mental focus and how to avoid concentrating too much on technique (paralysis by analysis).

You may also want to subscribe to the following web sites.

There's also a few books out there on conditioning, strategy, and practice drills. Do a search on Amazon.com and you'll find them all.

itftennis.com might also be a good place to find some good material.

That should be enough to get you started. :)
