About the book: John Williams shares his unique perspective on tennis improvement, the dietary and training regimens of the current professional stars plus insights into the future of tennis. John combines a lifetime of playing and teaching tennis to produce a book that can be used as a reference to aid the tennis-playing public in finding a pathway for improving and enjoying this great game. In addition, future rule changes, coaching changes and timely advice on the most underrated, underappreciated and underused shot in tennis.
About the author: John has a bachelor's degree in math and physics from the University of Charleston, a master's degree in astrophysics from Florida State University, and has completed three years of doctoral study in nuclear physics at Auburn University. John served as president and regional vice president for the Missouri Valley Professional Tennis Association (MVPTA) from 1983-1991. Taking an occasional time out during a 35 year tennis-teaching career, John was able to play pro level tournaments in the days of sham amateurism (before open tennis) and continued to play and win pro level tournaments (after 1968) until he was 40 years old. John was inducted into the University of Charleston Hall of Fame in 2001 and the Missouri Valley Professional Tennis Association (MVPTA) Hall of Fame in 1999. He has coached and developed players of all ages and abilities. They include state, sectional and national champions in multiple locales from Florida to Oklahoma. Even though he is appreciative of his industry accolades, John says, My wife and children are my pride and joy.
