"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
