“Tennis Makes Life Better” is much more than just a book about sport. It’s an inspiring guide based on real experiences, deep reflections, and lessons learned over more than three decades in the world of international tennis.

From Sweden to Uruguay, passing through Spain, Portugal, and Germany, the author takes us through stories that reveal how this sport can be a powerful tool for personal, institutional, and community transformation. Whether you are a player, coach, parent, club director, or simply a tennis enthusiast, here you will find practical and emotional keys to experience tennis in a more human, mindful, and formative way.

With a clear pedagogical approach and a critical yet constructive perspective, this book offers valuable ideas on training, competition, attitude, managing emotions, and the delicate art of supporting others — especially young people — on their athletic and life journeys.

This is not a technical manual, but rather a bridge between the court and life itself.

As one page reminds us: «In tennis, the toughest opponent is not always on the other side of the net, but within yourself.» An intelligent yet approachable book — technical without being cryptic, and above all, deeply human.

Ruxandra Baicu – 22/11/2025

As a not tennis player I couldn`t reach the meaning of this sport and its profound influence on the players` personality development until I read this book. Through a clear, meaningful and psychological approach, this book has given me a completely other perspective of the wide range of possibilities that tennis playing can affect peoples´ becoming for the rest of their lives.
Becoming a leader requires a wide range of qualities which are difficult to constantly develop through life. This book is a certified proof that tennis has the power and the „adequate equipment“ for this particular transformation. „Everything can be reset“ states the author, by the use of a proper attitude, communication art and positive suggestions. This is for all of us the well-known basis of many psychological therapies which imply human cognitive reframing/restructuring, behavioural activation and adjustment, problem-solving, self-emotional and thinking monitoring and obviously mindfulness. And then I cannot but further thinking and wondering: could be tennis thought as a therapeutical art in itself? Has tennis and the experiences of tennis playing the adequate equipment in order to reconstruct our cognition and reframe our beliefs?
Through simple and wonderful stories and experiences described within this book, the author reaches our mostly required existential need which defines us all: „a sense of identity and the feeling of belonging to something beautiful“. This book´s profound human analysis is overwhelming in terms of describing and explaining every profile of a tennis player, of a tennis trainer, a tennis coach or a tennis mentor (the difference between trainer, coach, mentor is quite significant) and obviously of a tennis manager. Sharing his real-life stories, the author offers practical methods and strategies of self-development in all of the above roles, having tennis as a main tool.
Interesting cultural differences and deep reflections of self-experiences picture for us a wonderful journey of self-development within the role of a parent, tennis trainer, coach, mentor and manager, but above all, a tennis lover. Thank you for sharing with us your gift and knowledge, your unique perspective of tennis playing.
