About the Author

In 2004, the Tennis World was greeted with a revolutionary text on tennis: David W. Smith’s TENNIS MASTERY…a book that has been labeled as an “Epiphany” for some, an “Eye-opener” for others, and a “Measure for tennis literature” for others still. TENNIS MASTERY has been also called the “Greatest tennis instructional book since Gallwey’s Inner Game of Tennis.”
David Smith’s 30-plus years of teaching tennis includes a wide variety of successful venues: From coaching one of the most successful high school tennis teams in the U.S. to being the head pro at a world-renown tennis club, to owning his own tennis teaching academy, Dave has continued to produce tennis champions and successful players and teams everywhere he has taught. As a high school coach, his personal team win-loss record of over 1000 team wins against less than 25 losses is one of the most successful U.S coaching records. He has taught over 3000 players including over 100 state, national or world-ranked players.
Many of you know David from his articles written for www.TennisOne.com where he is the Senior Editor of the world-wide recognized website for tennis instruction. His innovative approach to teaching tennis has also earned him such recognition as being one of only 40 Tennis Professionals recognized as a Wilson Racquet Sports “Premier Advisory Staff” members.
Dave has published over 100 articles including feature pieces for USPTA’s ADDvantage Magazine and Belgium’s “Tennis & Coach” magazine. Dave has also been a feature speaker at various USPTA conventions and divisional workshops. He has been a motivational speaker for such programs as the National Honor Society.
In addition, Dave is the Co-Author of the top-selling Mystery series about Walt Disney and Disneyland titled, "Hidden Mickey". These Adult-Action Adventure novels are adult-level, (age appropriate for 12 and up), are the first-of-their kind "Historical Fiction" novels surrounding the life of Walt Disney and his Magic Kingdom.
Dave has also parlayed his expertise in the art of Magic, using his magician skills to educate pros and entertain audiences around the country with expert close-up and slight of hand magic. In addition, David is a bass and guitar player who has played in several bands when he lived in Southern California.

Editorial Reviews

"I've been involved in tennis for 55 years, as competitive player, coach and educator. In these years, I've built up a library of tennis books and read them all. But I've no hesitation to say "Coaching Mastery" is the most complete reference. Every tennis teacher and coach worth his salt, should read "Coaching Mastery".

Great book! This book is perfect for all players of all ages to learn tennis the right way...and a great tool for parents, pros and coaches to use to define the best progressions for their students. This book is huge, like a college text book, with a wealth of information. Highly recommended.

I just received Coaching Mastery and I cannot put it down. I have been coaching tennis for more than 20 years, and have tons of books and videos, but this is the best by far.

From stroke development, to program development, to basic player development, Coaching Mastery covers them all. And if you think you don't need the "program development" piece like I thought I didn't, well, think again. Whether you're looking to create a winning HS program or just incite a little more interest around your club or with local juniors, Dave gives great, proven ideas. And if you're looking for some of Dave's unique coaching techniques, namely the 2-H FH, it's in there, too.
