Description

In tennis, the difference between winning and losing is often determined by what happens between your ears. When pressure rises, frustration builds, or opponents push your buttons, your mental game decides whether you stay composed or break down. Tennis with the Competitive Edge gives players proven tools to stay calm, confident, and consistent—no matter the score, no matter the situation.

What You’ll Learn

With Tennis with a Competitive Edge, you’ll learn how to:

Stay composed under big-match pressure
Rebound quickly from mistakes, bad breaks, or poor calls
Maintain your focus and composure even when opponents cheat or distract you
Avoid psych-outs and intimidation from competitors or crowds
Stay relaxed and confident the night before big tournaments
Build championship-level concentration and consistency
Reduce mental mistakes that lead to unforced errors
Play with freedom instead of tightening up in high-stakes moments
Learn the secrets to winning motivation and how to get more out of your practices on a daily basis

Why It Works

Created by Dr. G, a former #1 collegiate singles player and teaching pro with 40+ years of experience working with tennis athletes, this program blends mental toughness strategies, motivational stories, and practical tools that retrain how you respond under pressure. You’ll also learn how stress shows up in your body (like tightening your grip, rushing points, or losing your rhythm) and how to reset so your mind and body work together for confident, consistent play.

The Bottom Line

Tennis with the Competitive Edge helps players sharpen their mental game, regulate their responses, and step onto the court ready to play like champions.

Testimonials

A real breakthrough book for athletes! Having been frustrated using traditional cognitive-behavioral approaches with athletes experiencing freezing, choking or the yips, this book packs in all of the information you need to make a wonderful impact with athletes suffering from these recurrent sports performance issues. I was able to put the breakthrough therapy of `brainspotting’ to immediate use with my clients and the results were spectacular! I would highly recommend this book and its techniques to all practitioners who work with athletes. You will be thrilled with your results. But that’s not all. The authors wrote this book so that athletes could also benefit. They carefully put together treatment strategies that athletes can employ even without a therapist. I recommend this not just for therapists who work with athletes, but for athletes themselves!

Dr. G, I just finished reading “This is Your Brain On Sports” and I absolutely loved it! It opened my eyes to what really causes athletes to fall apart and it will help me be more effective with my players!

Frank

I was listening to your “Parents” audio today on my drive and I have to say it opened my eyes! Especially the part where you talk about “good” and “bad” nervous. What a life skills gift to teach parents how to teach their kids how to roll with the “juice” that naturally comes up as you’re about to perform! The “Juice” is normal, it is what will fuel you. Don’t fear “The Juice” embrace it. Such a great audio! Thank you.

Wesley

Thanks so much! I finally learned how to get my parents on the same page that I’m on. They’re actually helping me now! Go Figure! It has made things so much much easier for me to do my job. I think this is a critically important book for coaches in any sport.

Jack

Congratulations on your program, “14 Steps!” They are truly outstanding and thoroughly cover all the mental aspects of sports which are challenging to athletes and coaches. We are using them this year as part of our weekly training program and the kids love your stories and teachings!

Ken S.

Your new program has really helped both of my kids even though they are in different sports! My daughter used to get too nervous before she played and she told me how much more relaxed and focused she feels now and I can see it in her level of confidence and success on the field. My son had a long history of doing better in practice than competition, leaving him frustrated and us not knowing how to help him. What a difference I see in him now when he competes under pressure. Thanks so much — you’re a great teacher!

Concerned Parent

Dr. G, I first want to thank you. Just yesterday in a team match, our #6 on the men’s team won a huge match to give us a 5-4 win. He won 4 and 3 but it was not even close. He played nearly flawless at times and was just crushing the ball. He is a senior who has been plagued by self-doubt and a lack of confidence that has always kept him from playing his best tennis. Yesterday when his match was finished and I walked onto his court and told him how proud I was of his play, his exact words were “it is all because of those audio’s.” The second reason I wanted to contact you was to ask how we could get all of our men’s and women’s players the audio version of your program! It’s that top notch! Thank you again

Troy

I have downloaded your 14 Steps to Mental Toughness and have been listening to them with my son. I must say that it is having a very positive impact on both of us!! We live in the UK where this type of science is not well known, but now I am persuaded by it! I am so grateful that I discovered your work as my son is only 17 so has plenty of time to benefit.

Mohammed

My coaching staff listened to the Parents’ audio’s with me and are all very excited, so excited in fact that we are hosting a workshop for parents. I shared the audio directly with a couple of parents … the response was so positive these parents have volunteered to participate in helping to run the parent workshop. They listened to the audio’s and consciously put into practice some of your parent guidelines. As a result, not only are they enjoying closer relationships with their children, but the kids are enjoying themselves again!

I want all my players to use the audio’s before matches! Thank you again

Ricky is playing tennis and actually having fun again! Losses aren’t knocking him off balance and he’s changed his whole headset to just “enjoying the dance” like you talk about. The anxiety that used to overwhelm him is gone. Your MP3’s and book have helped him tremendously!

Manny

I’m a sophomore at a top ACC tennis program and would get too nervous going for my shots. My mom found your book and I now know why I was so nervous and what would trigger my pushing. The end result is I am playing MY game. I have already moved up to #3 singles on our team!

Randy

It used to really upset me that I would lose to players who had weaker games than me. Since I started using your book, (Using Your Head… Championship Tennis) I play my own game. and don’t beat myself. You taught me how to be so much tougher in my mind. I don’t know how to thank you.

Janice A

My son plays #1 singles and has been struggling lately with his game and confidence. I got your racquet sports audio’s and I can’t believe the difference! He used to get upset with bad calls and then give points away. Now he’s playing so much more confidently.

Dr. G! Awesome program. Easy for my kids to listen to, you’re a great story teller and your methods are solid. Your background as a #1 singles player and teaching pro give you the creds with my players so they are willing to listen to you. My kids have clearly benefited by how well they’re playing in tournaments!
