You know the routines. Now solve the problems.

First Point gave you the morning. Match Point gave you the evening. Break Point gave you the emotional awareness to read what is happening inside. The Solution Playbook is where those three become one working system.

This is a problem-focused workbook. Each section starts with a challenge that holds top junior players back — the nervous start, the collapse after a bad call, the night before a big match — and works through it with structured, tested exercises.

THE APPROACH

No theory. No lectures. Just solutions.

Structured, tested approaches drawn from thirty years of coaching young athletes through the most intense pressure a junior player can face.
