SARASOTA, Fla., April 26, 2010 – Former Stanford Tennis Coach, UPSTA Pro,
USTA Official and Six Sigma Champion Steven Falk’s groundbreaking book, “The Six
Sigma Tennis College Scholarship Guide,” which uses proven quality management
principles to achieve athletic excellence, is now available for parents of college
bound kids to increase tennis knowledge and gain the skills to secure a tennis
scholarship. The book was released today at the Naples ITF Junior/USTA Clay Court
Championships and select stores worldwide.
In “The Six Sigma Tennis College Scholarship Guide,” leading expert Steven
Falk explains how the improvement processes major corporations use to ensure
99.99 percent quality can now be used by tennis players of all levels to achieve
99.99 percent success rates within three hours by using this college preparation
course just like they would use an SAT preparation course.
“I have been told by sports and Six Sigma experts from around the world that
this is the first time these processes have been applied to athletics and that the book
will likely change athletics, education and sports forever,” he said. “I’ve seen
fantastic results with my own students, and I’ve received feedback from coaches,
educators, parents and students in the U.S. and Canada having the same success
with Six Sigma Tennis.”
Falk’s easy‐to‐follow methodology is drawn from his experience with
applying the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standards,
corporate based Six Sigma quality improvement processes and Zero Defects
strategies in large corporations, such as Carlson Companies, General Electric,
Lockheed Martin and Siemens. As a tennis coach with Stanford Tennis in Palo Alto,
Calif., he began applying Six Sigma approaches, which not only helped players, but
also assisted instructors and coaches with their own students.
“What I love about this is that teaching these principles to children or adults,
not only gives them the tools they need to succeed at tennis,” Falk said, “but they
also can use them to succeed at life. Tennis is a very simple game of rules; to begin
you simply follow the rules by putting the ball over the net and inside the lines,
every single time. Let me repeat; every single time. It’s very simple, and it works
every single time. I guarantee it.”
