David Ranney

David Ranney has been studying the mental game for over 25 years. He was ranked nationally 6th in Singles and 3rd in doubles, represented the U.S. at Junior Wimbledon, played on the Junior Davis Cup team and played for the University of Southern California when they were National Champions. However, as good as he was, David used to yell and scream on the tennis court. He couldn't ever seem to win matches against players that were higher ranked. He never felt that in important matches he played well enough to win. He got really frustrated and angry with himself and he didn't know how to stop. After years of playing with intense frustration, he took two lessons from Tim Gallwey, author of The Inner Game of Tennis when he was in his 30’s. That experience changed his tennis life forever and set him on the path of playing the mental game. His book Play Zen-Sational Tennis is the most complete and practical book you will find on the mental part of tennis. David has also written two other books dealing with the mental side of sports. They are Play Zen-Sational Baseball and Zen-Sational Basketball shooting.
