The United States Tennis Association is an in-depth look at the history of the United States Tennis Association (USTA) and how this sports organization has helped cultivate and organize tennis in the United States over the past 135 years. Starting as a group of elite white men from country clubs in the Northeast, the organization has become the largest tennis association in the world, with women in top leadership positions and an annual revenue of well over $300 million. The USTA was key in establishing the Open Era in tennis in 1968, when professionals began competing with amateurs in Grand Slam events; for expanding the game in the United States during the 1970s tennis boom; and for establishing the U.S. Open as one of the most prestigious and largest-attended sports events in the world.
Unique among sports-governing bodies, the USTA is a mostly volunteer-run organization that, along with a paid professional staff, manages and governs tennis at the local level across the United States and owns and operates the U.S. Open. The association participates directly in the International Tennis Federation, manages U.S. participation in international tennis competitions (Fed Cup and Davis Cup), and interacts with professional tennis within the United States. The story of how tennis is managed by the nation’s largest cadre of volunteers in any sport is one of sports’ best untold stories.
With access to the private records of the USTA, Warren F. Kimball tells an engaging and rich history of how tennis has been managed and governed in the United States.
"After having played tennis for more than 20 years, I have realized that it took a long time to learn the ins and outs of this beautiful game that challenges us physically, mentally, and spiritually. Thus, I have decided to make it a lot easier for new, intermediate, and advanced tennis players by providing an overview of the tennis game, including chapters on drills, cross training, nutrition, the Zen of tennis, a special chapter for junior tennis players and information on scholarships, and my favorite chapter, "100 Life Lessons I learned from Tennis". The book can be carried around to practice various drills and cross training, which makes this a great gift to all the athletes in your life. What if you are not at all interested in tennis? Can this book help your fitness, mental, and spiritual life? Absolutely This book is designed for all athletes, or people who want to add fitness and proper nutrition and change their grip on life."

Описание: When Billie Jean King trounced Bobby Riggs in tennis's ""Battle of the Sexes"" in 1973, she placed sports squarely at the center of a national debate about gender equity. In this winning combination of biography and history, Susan Ware argues that King's challenge to sexism, the supportive climate of second-wave feminism, and the legislative clout of Title IX sparked a women's sports revolution in the 1970s that fundamentally reshaped American society.While King did not single-handedly cause the revolution in women's sports, she quickly became one of its most enduring symbols, as did Title IX, a federal law that was initially passed in 1972 to attack sex discrimination in educational institutions but had its greatest impact by opening opportunities for women in sports. King's place in tennis history is secure, and now, with Game, Set, Match, she can take her rightful place as a key player in the history of feminism as well. By linking the stories of King and Title IX, Ware explains why women's sports took off in the 1970s and demonstrates how giving women a sporting chance has permanently changed American life on and off the playing field.
'Game Changer' is the story of one young Aussie tennis player's inspirational journey to redefine success and 'making it' in the most unlikely of places.
Ever since age eleven, Chris Bates, has been in search of success. As one of Australia's best young tennis players, he was constantly confronted by the ever present 'wisdom' of Australian tennis coaches who insisted if you didn't 'make it' by the age of twenty, your career, and your life, was a failure.
In this memoir of heartbreaking losses, injury, financial stress, and recurring heart problems, Bates teeters on the edge of quitting and walking away from the sport he loves so much. His last, desperate throw of the dice rests with his arrival in wind-swept Oklahoma, America's heartland, as a student-athlete. What happens in this time at Oklahoma State University as a Cowboy will go on to change his life forever.
Game Changer is an inspirational, un-put-downable memoir recommended for budding athletes, sporting parents, coaches, educators, and anybody embarking on a US College journey as a student-athlete. With trademark enthusiasm and humour, Bates invites you on a journey through this rollercoaster ride of adventure and self-discovery as he struggles to challenge the status quo of 'making it' and redefine what success truly means.
