Description

Training mentally tough tennis players is one of the greatest challenges in coaching. Tennis is a sport of momentum swings, emotional volatility, long points, and enormous psychological pressure—and a player’s internal state often determines the match long before technique does.

Over the past 40+ years, Dr. G—a former #1 collegiate singles player and tennis teaching professional—has worked with teaching pros, college programs, academies, and elite juniors to understand exactly why players crumble when they get ahead, tighten up when closing out, lose to weaker opponents, or struggle with confidence, consistency, and emotional control.

Together with Sara Vatore’s expertise in nervous system regulation and somatic performance, this package gives coaches a cutting-edge understanding of what’s actually happening inside an athlete’s body when they tighten, hesitate, lose focus, or mentally spiral after mistakes—and teaches you how to build training environments that develop true competitive resilience.

The Tennis Coaches Package gives you the mental-training tools you need to develop players who stay composed under pressure, bounce back quickly, think clearly between points, and compete with confidence—point after point, match after match.

What You’ll Learn

With the Tennis Coaches Package, you’ll learn how to:

Coach the Mental and Physiological Sides of Tennis

Train athletes to calm nerves, reset between points, and stay present
Understand the root causes of choking, freezing, and momentum collapse
Help players stop overthinking technique during competition
Build pre-match and between-point routines that hold up under pressure

Develop Confident, Emotionally Steady Competitors

Strengthen players’ resilience, focus, and competitive composure
Coach athletes through frustration, fear spikes, perfectionism, and emotional swings
Teach players to rebound quickly after double faults, unforced errors, or bad calls
Build durable internal confidence rather than opponent-dependent self-belief

Communicate Like a High-Performance Tennis Coach

Use language and timing that reinforce clarity, calm, and trust
Learn how to coach in ways that reduce tension instead of adding pressure
Master skills for regulating your own nervous system so your players mirror steadiness
Work effectively with parents to ensure they support, rather than undermine, your mental training

Build a High-Trust, High-Consistency Training Culture

Create an environment where players take healthy risks, compete freely, and grow
Reduce comparison, perfectionism, and performance anxiety
Establish mental and somatic routines that translate from practice to matches
Align coaches, parents, and athletes around what truly creates competitive success

The Bottom Line

The Tennis Coaches Package gives you everything you need to train mentally tough, emotionally steady, competition-ready players.

You’ll learn how to coach the mental side with the same precision you coach technique—helping your athletes stay composed, confident, and consistent in the moments that matter most.

This is how you develop tennis players who can compete with resilience, close out matches, handle pressure, and play with the clear, grounded focus of champions.

Though not all included materials are tennis-specific, coaches consistently rave about the dramatic improvements in confidence, reset skills, match consistency, and overall performance under pressure.

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!

Tim

I first want to thank you for the Tennis With the Competitive Edge series. 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 and his exact words were ‘it is all because of those audio’s’. 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!
