So, what is this Zen stuff all about? The word Zen is from the Japanese pronunciation of the Chinese word Chán, which can be approximately translated as "meditation" or "meditative state."

He was ranked nationally 6th in Singles and 3rd in doubles, represented the U.S. at Junior Wimbledon, played on the Junior Davis Cup team and played for the University of Southern California when they were National Champions. However, as good as he was, David used to yell and scream on the tennis court. He couldn't ever seem to win matches against players that were higher ranked. He never felt that in important matches he played well enough to win. He got really frustrated and angry with himself and he didn't know how to stop. After years of playing with intense frustration, he took two lessons from Tim Gallwey when he was in his 30’s. That experience changed his tennis life forever and set him on the path of playing the mental game.
