Coaches
and players of all levels tell their success with the Wegner
Method!
"Oscar
is a great coach. In a few days he helped me regain my strokes
and my feel for the ball." Bjorn Borg, 5 time
Wimbledon Champion and 6 time French Open Champion
"Wegner
strips instruction of all those accepted phrases and directions
that only clutter your mind and confuse.....I think you'll
find it worthwhile to dump the past and join Oscar in your
tennis future. In listening to him I've unlearned a few things
myself that I long considered gospel....." Bud Collins,
Boston Globe, NBC
"Oscar:
We have not met, but I have long acknowledged that your teaching
methods are light years ahead of those for most teaching professionals
in our industry. I also happen to believe that our industry
has complicated the learning process for so many players that
they become discouraged and leave our sport too quickly. Your
ideas simplify matters, and this is crucial." Bill
Mountford, Director of Tennis, USTA National Tennis Center,
site of the US Open, Flushing Meadows, N.Y.
"Oscar
has broken the mold in understanding the modern tennis stroke.
In working with him and watching super slo-motion sequences
of the top pros, I have seen the genius of Oscar's analysis
of their dynamics and technique. He has translated that into
effective teaching methodology that is easy and fun to learn
from." Andy Rosenberg, Director for NBC Sports
Wimbledon and French Open
"I
recommend this method to other professionals. With this method
we had positive results all over the world." Carlos
Alves. Carlos took Oscar to Brazil, learned his methods,
and together they developed Guga Kuerten until he was 14,
and many other top juniors and young pros, including his daughter
Nanda Alves, #1 in Brazil.
"This
book (Tennis in Two Hours) describes to a "T" what
I felt when I was at the top of my game. It is amazing that
Oscar makes it so simple to learn." Martin Mulligan,
Wimbledon finalist to Rod Laver in 1962 and three-time Italian
Open winner.
Bob
Ruzanic, a Pennsylvania tennis coach and former Chairman
of the U.S. Davis Cup Committee, said: "this system is
amazing, like planting 250 seeds and getting 250 trees. All
of the children I teach at the summer camp keep coming back
every year, all of them. They learn quickly and they love
the sport."
"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.
"After
introducing top juniors to the Wegner Method, I went from
unknown coach with zero tournament students to head pro at
Dwight Davis, largest public facility in city and home to
the St. Louis Aces (Andy Roddick). IN NINE MONTHS! I just
smile when coaches try to say your method is just for starters
and intermediates, for I have used it with 5.0s and nationally
ranked juniors, all amazed at how advanced but still simple
to Play Like the Pros really is. Now even coaches take lessons
from me, but it's not me, it's your method they want."
John Carpenter, Head Pro, Dwight Davis Tennis Center,
St. Louis, Missouri
"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.
"Your
teaching method is logical, easily understood, and works.
Now I understand why Spain has so many players." Jana
Hunsacker, former Director of Tennis, U.S.T.A. National
Tennis Center, Flushing Meadows, N.Y., the site of the U.S.
Open Championships.
"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.
"Your
method of simplifying the strokes and teaching beginners to
"play like the pros" has benefitted hundreds of
New York City school children and the teachers that train
them. It's remarkable to see children rallying back and forth
20-70 times within an hour and I love hearing from them that
"tennis is easy." Sheri Slobin, Deputy Director
of Programs.
"Oscar's
method has made my students produce longer rallies and increased
their level of excitement for the game. Students quickly develop
a better feel for the ball and consistency." David
Glackin, coach, New York Junior Tennis League and USTA
Area Training coach.
"Oscar,
I have thoroughly enjoyed your tapes and book - you have rekindled
my passion for tennis and interest in learning as much as
possible about this magnificent lifetime sport ." William,
Chicago
"I
also cant say enough about your teaching method of practicing
volleying against a slanted board from your videos. That has
done wonders for my hand eye coordination and reflexes at
net." Jerry
"Id
like to thank you making it easy for my students to play tennis.
I teach tennis full time at two clubs. Just the other day
I had three ladies that I teach rallying back and forth over
40 times from the baseline." Darren
"I
have been teaching tennis for about 25 years. I have all five
videos. I have convinced many of my friends to follow your
methods to teach people to play the game. It has made my life
as a tennis teaching pro very easy and extremely fun."
Steve
"During
the 20 years I have taught tennis, I have researched and used
many techniques and methods to make learning easier. Oscar
Wegner's insights into the game and innovative techniques
are a major breakthrough." Tia Hall, Gainsville.
"Tennis
in Two Hours is a remarkable book. I checked it out of the
Escondido, California library expecting another run-of-the-mill
catalog of strokes ant tips. You have made an impact on my
strokes and the way I teach classes and private lessons!"
W. Clair Metzger, Jr., Escondido, California
My
tennis game has improved a lot since I met you, honestly,
I don't follow 100 per cent of what you teach but I took the
best of it and it made me a better player. Thanks again."
Philippe, tennis coach, actor, Los Angeles, California
"Your
teaching methods are so successful that they got me fired
from my club--the head pro got jealous. Oh well. But not all
is lost. A club across town offered me the head pro position.
Your methods are all the buzz in Buffalo!" Andy,
tennis coach, Buffalo
"Using
your method I've freed up my mind and discovered that there
is a lot more time to hit the ball than I thought!" Matt
"I
got the tapes and watched them all... I wish I had discovered
your stuff 10 years ago! I hit some balls with a buddy of
mine yesterday and he said that it was the most consistent
he had ever seen me hit and that my balls were all deep. Even
the ones that landed at the service line had so much topspin
that jumped deep into the court." Jim
"It
has made a major difference in my game." JC
"Your
system is the BEST!!! It's not only helped my game in a week
but I cannot wait to teach another lesson with your techniques!!!"
Laurie, tennis coach, Longboat Key, Florida
"I
have watched them (the videos) a lot and even when I played
tennis for the first time after listening to all your tips
- things had already improved. Now I can go on and enjoy all
the practice and playing with so much more understanding and
confidence. All within a week - not bad progress." Charlotte
"I
truly want to thank you for creating your instructional tapes.
Words can not describe how you have simplified things. I always
get in trouble with my wife because I spend so much time practicing.
Although I still need to practice, I can see the light to
playing consistent tennis. Thank you for making me understand
how simple tennis truly can be. I look forward to incorporating
your techniques in my teaching." Robert
"With
the help from your book and videos, I have dramatically improved
virtually all of aspects of my game. I have shared your techniques
with a number of friends and have discussed many specifics
with them. I believe each has improved his game to some extent."
Larry
"Among
the many tips I absorbed was the second serve, where you toss
the ball and then "push" or accelerate through the
ball. My second serve was pretty good before, but Tuesday
and Wednesday nights it was very good. I had much more spin
or bite. Thanks." Jerry, Chicago
"For
the first time in 24 years I feel I know what I am doing on
the court." Zoran
"Dear
Oscar, I enjoyed reading the book very much and it helped
me beat my Mom for the first time." Phil Rothberg,
12 year old, Philadelphia.
"Two
weeks ago I received from you a book with videos and I can't
thank you enough. I have been playing tennis for twenty years
and can't remember about being more excited about the game.
I'm playing twice as good as before." Charles
"After
taking thousands of dollars worth of lessons, I am in a good
position to evaluate the effect of your instruction tapes
and the improvement is dramatic. I still have a long way to
go but am enjoying tennis as never before." Diana
