Great reference material for teaching pros

As an active teaching pro I'm always looking for ways to keep things fresh for my students. This book provides enough material and variety to be used in countless lessons. It definately should be close at hand when preparing lesson plans. I found the "Helpful Tips" section particularly interesting as it gives useful information as to why a particular game/drill may breakdown when actually oncourt. Even if you don't think a particular game would work it gives the pro the basics which can then be modified for particular students or situations.

Tennis Practice games can work!

With some tweaking I was actually able to use many of the practice games with favorable results. Not all of the games worked, and some I had to improvised, but over all it gave my kids some fun and a new perspective to the same old ideas that we have been trying to pound into their brain.
