"The book does address important topics in pediatrics and sports medicine as they specifically relate to young tennis players. ... This book serves as an excellent, evidence-based reference for the multiple disciplines involved in the care of these young athletes, including medical providers and students, sports psychologists, physical therapists, athletic trainers, and coaches. It is a unique and worthwhile contribution to the literature in pediatrics and sports medicine." (Carl Rasmussen, Doody's Book Reviews, November, 2016)
