Following up on his first book, Sports Parenting, North Carolina-based tennis coach Bill Schillings shares a lifetime of experiences from the sport of tennis in Playing the Game. In this book-part memoir and part manual-Bill outlines the stages of development that defined his tennis journey: ignition, mentorship, environment, professionalism, and humility. He recounts his experiences as a Division 1 college athlete, life in the minor leagues of pro tennis, sharing the court with a young Michael Chang and Jim Courier, what he learned working with renowned sports psychologist Dr. Jim Loehr, and much more.
