The story of how I learned more about the non-competitive approach in tennis started in the summer of 2003, when Brent Zeller, a tennis coach from Marin County and author of www.effortlesstennis.com invited me to come over to USA and learn more about his method of teaching tennis.

I spent one month with Brent watching him teach tennis to juniors and adults in private and group lessons.

Brent also introduced me to other coaches in San Francisco area where I was able to learn even more about tennis teaching methods in the USA.

Brent’s approach to tennis is quite unique in America (which by nature is very competitive!) – he doesn’t introduce competition until the player really masters the game.

This helps the player avoid tension and thus learn the strokes in a very relaxed environment. And as you can imagine the technique of such strokes is more fluid and effortless.

(Note – I also encourage this approach in my latest article about tennis technique of recreational players.)

When I talked to Brent about this approach he showed me a draft – a blueprint – of his teaching method, his findings, his experience of competition (he was a professional tennis player for many years) and his thoughts on learning through cooperation.

Now, 4 years later, I am now very proud and happy to let you know that Brent Zeller has published the Evolutionary Education ebook.

The ebook shows you how a non-competitive approach and Effortless Learning can enable us to develop excellence in any field we choose.

I invite you to read the short introduction on the Evolutionary Education website and what Brent Zeller has to say about the non-competitive approach to tennis and life.

Highly recommended!
