A very good book about mental techniques for tennis. I am just at the beginning of the process. I need matches to experiment them. But it works on training...

A Must Read For Serious Tennis Players
I bought David Ranney's book a year ago and it was immediately helpful. The book gives you a framework for practicing and playing at your peak mental level. The drills that David has developed for this are fantastic. The trick is to keep reading the book over and over and to keep practicing.
I recently had the good fortune to not only attend David's clinic based on his book, but to also practice with him each day for two weeks. David is a born teacher; he can't help himself. With the help of the book and the practices with David, I have eliminated almost all the anxiety that I used to have when I played. This has allowed me to play in the moment without minute to minute negative judgment of my play. I am playing at a consistently higher level and more importantly my enjoyment of the game has increased greatly. Thank you David.

This book compliments the Inner Game Of Tennis. It assists those of us who are trying to master NOT thinking about how to play by providing tools to get to the Inner Game. Very helpful.

Since reading this book, I have been experiencing a transformation in the way I feel when I play. I used to shout an angry "argh!" or wack my racquet against the curtain between courts when I would miss YAES (Yet Another Easy Shot). And tighten up--yes choke--when the point meant win-or-lose. I felt resigned that this was just "the way things are" and I'd never be able to change.
After reading "Tennis: Play the Mental Game" my time on the court has truly become more enjoyable--and I really am playing better tennis (just as the book promises!). Focusing on the ball, watching the spin to the "blur of the racquet", noticing my breathing and practicing a long slow exhale on return of serves--these simple steps have me more relaxed and feeling very present when I play.
Some portions of the book are repetitious, a bit like practicing strokes, but overall the book made it easy to grasp the concepts.
It will no doubt take me many more months to be "in the zone" for most of the playing time, but after a few weeks, I am enjoying the ongoing transformation in how I feel when I play.
Thanks for a great addition to the mental game of tennis.

"In my opinion, the other present-day books on the philosophy of the mental game pretty much says what Tim Gallwey was saying over 30 years ago, only not so eloquently."
The above phrase, by the author himself on page 14, is ironically fitting for this very book!
