A "Read to Achieve" Inspiration
For The Young Tennis Player
Perfect Racquet Bag Companion for Your Kid!

Author Ron Berman, a former junior tennis player and teaching pro, has written a tennis book for the ages. When fifteen-year-old Bryan Berry begins to train with Henry Johnson, people dismiss the partnership as a crazy idea. After all, Henry is nothing more than an old, washed-up, former teaching pro...isn't he? As it turns out, Bryan's new coach becomes a friend and mentor who serves up memorable lessons about life as well as tennis. Join "The Kid from Courage” on his inspiring and uplifting journey to the Super National Championships. The author encourages the young reader to reflect, posing questions and a suggested essay for each chapter.

"For many young readers, it takes a specific genre to ignite the necessary attraction for a book to win out over television and video games, and for many that genre is Sports. ” - THE INDEPENDENT PUBLISHER

"As a player, coach, and dad, I enthusiastically recommend ‘The Kid from Courage' for the junior tennis player in your family.” - BRAD GILBERT, former #4 in the world, and current coach of Andy Roddick
