Tennis coach?s videos marketed worldwide

An instructional sports video producer is offering ?High School Coaching Academy,? a five-DVD set featuring Lawrence Eyre, Maharishi School?s tennis coach.

The videos cover three facets: conditioning and quickness training; practice sessions; and coaching during match play.

Eyre, whose players have won 16 Iowa 1-A state titles, was selected as National High School Coach of the Year for 2009 by the United States Professional Tennis Association.

Eyre was chosen to be featured in the videos because of his insight into the game, says Darryl Bennett, vice president of Championship Productions.

?I began talking with Lawrence for insights on tennis, on new product ideas and tennis coaching insights,? Bennett said. ?Every time we would speak I?d say, ?We have to get him on film.? His team, despite being the smallest school in the state with a tennis team, has, incredibly, played for the state team championship in 11 of the last 24 years.?

Eyre?s approach to coaching is unique in a number of respects, especially his players? practice of Transcendental Meditation. The videos highlight other distinctive features, such as his techniques for coming to a relaxed state between points and his emphasis on always making consistency the highest priority.
