Customer Reviews

Change the way you raise your children

Reading this book was probably one of the best things that I did. In fact, I did eventually by another one as a gift to my friend. I could see lot of things which I have been doing wrong with my son. I learned to put less pressure on him to perform on the tennis court and get him to enjoy the sport more. In fact, it has improved his love for the sport and improve his mental strength as well. It is a must read for all parents.

A must read for all tennis parents and Coaches!

I just have to comment on the review written by R.D.H. It is obvious that this person is envious and jealous of Wayne Bryan's success with raising his sons to be great champions. I also personally know Wayne Bryan and he practices what he preaches. He and his wife Kathy, have raised two incredible sons to be great people and gracious champions! As a tennis parent and tennis enthusiest this book has helped me to be a positive force in my kids lives. I would recommend this book to ALL parents and coaches so they could be a positive force in their kids lives.

Right on target

As a father of two girls this book is, as they say, priceless... My copy is now making the circuit of being passed among my friends (hopefully they'll buy their own copy!). Great book, easy to read, to understand, and to apply.

Wonderful book, it's informative, inspirational, and Fun to read! Great primer for any parent, coach, teacher, or mentor of any kind, written by one of the best!

This book is motivating and well written

We have a 1-year old boy and a 3-year old girl so my wife and I read this book with great interest. I am happy to say that Bryan and Woodburn created a great book. It is easy to read and extremely motivating. You can read the entire book in about two days, because the tone is conversational and the examples are entertaining. The authors have raised children that are truly champions, in athletics and academics. Their tips for bringing out the best in children make great sense, and I am excited to incorporate their suggestions into my own family's upbringing. Time to throw away the video games and focus on constructive activities that the kids enjoy. This book is for parents willing to get involved in their kids' lives and teach them to be respectful while having fun at the same time.
