"Dear Oscar,
Your revolutionary teaching methods have help me in a way that
even I am having hard time believing how well I’m playing.
Last year I was a mediocre player, today, I have come to become
someone to fear, a dangerous player if you will in my tennis league.
Finally, after 22 years playing tennis, I got my very first trophy.
I feel most proud of my accomplishments and my improvement…and
as much as I like to thank me for working so hard, I like to dedicate
my trophy to you and to my dear mother for getting me my first
racquet 22 years ago." Carlos
"Oscar's techniques are incredible.
Back in 1982 he was with me (coaching) in Germany and the students
called him "the American who taught tennis in two hours".
Over and over, he had total beginners rallying 40, 60 balls back
and forth in just two hours of instruction. He also helped the
Weiden Tennis Club have an undefeated junior tennis team that
year and get our main team to the Bundesliga." Jurgen Fassbender,
former #1 player in Germany and Top Ten player in the world.
"When my children were very young and just
starting to play tennis, Oscar gave them drills that were fun
to do. He generated an interest and eagerness for the game so
that they wanted to play more, and as a result, they became motivated
to play better. Oscar's relaxed style of teaching conveys a sense
of comfort and confidence to his students so that they look forward
to working with him and can enjoy the consistent improvements
that result from his teachings." Vincent Spadea Sr, father
of former #4 American and 19th ranked in the world.
"My team has won three NCAA titles
and I have been named NCAA "Coach of the Year" twice.
I say this only as a reference point. I was very fascinated with
your work and have thought a lot about it since. I plan to use
your methodology in my classes. In my pursuit of coaching excellence
I was with you on many concepts and yet found many of the things
you emphasized quite eye opening." Bob Hansen, Univ. of California
Santa Cruz.
"I've been a teaching pro for about 13 years.
During that time I've come across many theories (some great and
some not so great). I would usually test them in a lesson. If
they work, I keep using them. Well, I've been keeping a lot of
theories and material from your book and using them daily with
my lessons, with great results!" Scott Gilmore, Fort Walton
Beach, Florida.
