Review
The best coaches are those who combine creative instruction with electric motivation. A coach must have the ability to teach basic facts and skills, as well as the capacity to inspire athletes to perform at their very best. This is what separates Nick Bollettieri from others. His passion for tennis is infectious. His determination to produce a champion's best is well documented.
Dick Enberg, CBS Sports announcer
As usual, Nick has shown his comprehensive knowledge of tennis and the industry in Bollettieri's Tennis Handbook. If anyone has seen it all and done it alland has a right to say it allit's my friend and respected colleague, Nick Bollettieri.
Tim Heckler, CEO of the USPTA
Nick has successfully coached male and female beginners, intermediates, wanna-be pros, great champions, and other tennis instructors. There's nothing left...get the book.
Vic Braden, author and tennis professional
Nick is not just a coach, he's also a friend and someone you can talk to. As a coach he really knows what to tell a player so that the player will be able to take the next step to be on the top. Nick has personally helped me realize that I need the small things more than the large things.
Serena Williams, professional tennis player
