I can tell you from my own experiences that Jeff knows what he’s talking about. What he has written with this book is perfect if you want (or need) to learn how to play with confidence and keep steady on the court.
He stresses that when you become more aware of yourself on the court you will free yourself up to go for your shots, enjoy playing more, trust you body more and watch balls start landing in, and I tend to agree.
