Gunterman's 'Tennis Made Easy' Released

NEW YORK - New Chapter Press has announced the release of TENNIS MADE EASY, a tennis instructional book written by noted instructor Kelly Gunterman.

Accessible and concise, TENNIS MADE EASY ($19.95, NewChapterMedia.com) is an informative paperback guide that offers sensible and simple instruction, explained in a clear, jargon-free format, drawn from 30 years of tennis coaching. Effective for tennis players of all levels, this workbook includes a wealth of tactics, strategies, and definitions that is perfectly suited for beginners to the sport. Integrating productive and enjoyable practice drills, a wide range of topics are explored—gripping the racket, perfecting your serve, positioning, pressuring the opponent, and how to play singles or doubles. Clear information on choosing equipment and deciding what to pack in a tennis bag is also included.

“Tennis is the ultimate sport for fitness, fun and socialization and Tennis Made Easy is the perfect guide to steer players through this sport for a lifetime,” said Gunterman. “Tennis Made Easy was written to help beginners and intermediate players get a better grasp on their game and make tennis simple. I know that advanced players will also find the book helpful as it serves as a reminder not to overcomplicate playing this great sport.”

Gunterman is a USPTA-certified tennis instructor who has trained more than 20,000 people during a 30-year career. Currently the Director of Tennis at the Amelia Island Plantation in Amelia Island, Fla., he founded the Gunterman Tennis Schools in 1991, which have been listed in the “Top 25 Adult Tennis Schools in North America” by Tennis Magazine. A graduate of Austin Peay State University and the former long-time Director of Tennis at the Stratton Mountain Resort in Vermont, he is also the founder of Tennis without Borders, a not-for-profit organization that offers scholarships and assistance with school fees to young tennis students in developing countries. He lives in Fernandina Beach, Florida, and is also the tournament director for two USTA Futures events in northern Florida.

Among those endorsing TENNIS MADE EASY include former U.S. Secretary of the Treasury John Snow who said, “Kelly Gunterman’s book is the best I’ve ever seen for someone who wants to learn to play tennis the right way. The explanations are clear, concise and vivid and even advanced players would benefit immensely from the lessons this little book offers. Kelly knows tennis and knows how to make you a better tennis player and owning this book is guaranteed to do just that.” Said New York Times best-selling author David Baldacci, “Having known and worked on my tennis game with Kelly for years I can say unequivocally that his teaching methods work. Kelly’s genius is seeing the changes in small details that will reap enormous benefits for your game. This guy is flat-out a great teacher and this book will change your tennis game forever.” Said Jeff Saturday of the Indianapolis Colts of the National Football League, “Kelly does a great job of motivating and encouraging. He is versatile enough to apply his coaching to all sports.”
