Overly descriptive, close to useless

Informative, good read if you are serious about improving at tennis

The book is written for mostly professionals and all level (amateur) players who are very enthusiastic and very serious about their hobbies.
This book is definitely a book of modern tennis. and it addresses the topics such as which muscle groups are using by which moves, tennis playing styles. The book also contains proper exercises advice for developing these styles.
It is a little bit hard to read because of all these Latin names of the muscles. But the authors try to overcome this obstacle by adding many high quality of anatomic pictures.
It would be better if you read the book chapter by chapter and apply them daily basis rather than reading the whole of the book.

Great book, tons of information but very technical and too advanced for what I was looking for. Great for a professional physio but a mere pre-med challenged high school coach is a bit out of his depth.

Çok fazla anatomi. Ama tenise özel birkaç iyi fikir var.

Anatomi bilgisi önemli bir rol teşkil ediyor, kafa karıştırmadan bu bilgiyi alabileceğiniz bir kaynak.
