This powerful training companion delivers a blend of mental strategies, tactical systems, technical drills, and self-assessment tools — all grounded in real on-court experience.

Liv Laine is a dedicated tennis athlete and lifelong learner of the game. From her early years on the court to competing in junior tournaments, Liv has embraced tennis not just as a sport, but as a path for growth, discipline, and self-discovery.

Liv hopes to inspire fellow players to train smarter, compete with confidence, and develop a champion’s mindset—on and off the court. It is a living record of pursuit of excellence, fueled by her passion for tennis, discipline, and relentless curiosity.

Based on her lesson notes, tournament preparation routines, and personal breakthroughs, this book guides players through the deeper dimensions of tennis: mindset development, match awareness, footwork efficiency, and performance rituals. You’ll explore swing patterns, serve mechanics, transition shots, competitive journaling, match-day checklists, and more.

Unlike traditional tennis manuals, Play Like a Champion speaks the language of serious competitors — helping you train smarter, move sharper, and compete with clarity.

Inside, you’ll learn to:

• Develop your competitive identity and match preparation systems

• Master footwork, swing volleys, and net play with precision

With over 35 chapters of structured lessons and insights, this book is more than a manual — it’s a training partner, a coach, and a competitor rolled into one.

Train like you mean it. Play like you belong. Compete like a champion.
