Peak Performance in Tennis: The Ultimate Guide to Mental Fitness

The quote by Djokovic in the beginning is so appropriate. Pasahow's book has helped me identify those aspects of my "mental" game that've held me back from getting to the next level. Things that I've held on to for many years, and have had difficulty letting go. Will definitely read & re-read many times.

Gallaway says Performance = Potential minus interference. If you are looking to reduce the "interference" in your game of tennis, this book is a must. If you do not know proper strokes and footwork and strategy by all means get that kind of coaching. But if you know that stuff at least intellectually, but cannot consistently apply it then you have "interference". For a few dollars you get access to a very effective mind body approach that helps reduce the interference and tunes the mind and body to higher levels of performance. I definitely would recommend the kindle version as there are direct links to free videos that will help you actually use the energy psychology procedures Dr Pasahow teaches.

I wish I had had this book when I was playing tennis competitively! Dr. Pasahow has adapted Thought Field Therapy, developed by Dr. Roger Callahan, to the field of tennis. He leads the reader through tapping sequences to bring about peak performance using the Peak Performance Optimization (PPO) method. If you have tennis skills and would like to enhance your performance, then this book is for you! He also includes strategies for adapting the PPO method to other sports. In addition to being extremely helpful, this book is written in an engaging manner! Most of all, it works!

Dr. Pasahow has written an entertaining and informative book that describes in great detail a series of simple exercise to help tennis players enter the fabled “Zone” of peak performance. His expertise as a psychologist and his experience as an avid tennis player shine through, as he combines cognitive techniques with new brain research and holistic therapies like acupressure to create his process of Peak Performance Optimization. My only critique of this book is that it appeared 45 years too late to help me make my college tennis team!Rick Leskowitz MDFounding MemberThe Sports, Energy, and Consciousness Group

Years ago I was impressed by "The Inner Game of Tennis," which makes it clear that the game is not just about our moves, but more fundamentally about what we are doing inside. This book by my good friend, Dr. Robert Pasahow, offers tools on how to fine tune your inner game to be successful in playing tennis, and just maybe also about succeeding at the game of life. ~Fred P.

This is a delightful book about a great game, and it offers powerful mental tools for getting to your personal best when playing that great game.
