Alan Lane

Tennis Coach and Author

Hello, my name is Alan Lane. I have been coaching for over forty years.

Over those years many people have asked me to write a go-to reference for all tennis fundamentals. It was only recently that I sat down and put pen to paper.

I had initially planned for the book to be quite concise. However, I found that the more I wrote, the more ideas came into my head. I then decided to copy and use all the teaching techniques which I had gathered from thousands of pupils. My stories, my visualizations, my analogies and my tricks and gimmicks. Over the years I had gradually refined all of these teaching techniques, finally using only the ones which worked and were foolproof.

These successful, foolproof items are the essence of this book. They have worked for thousands of pupils. They can work for you, too.
