VOLLEYBALL Magazine, February 1999
The book, which includes photos and drills, assumes you know the basics and is geared for serious players.

Book Description
The purpose of this book is to help the experienced player take his/her game to the next level. Most people who play doubles are unaware of the higher principles of the game. This lack of understanding is largely due to the fact that those principles have never been established in writing for people to study, discuss, debate and apply. Once you learn and begin to apply the higher principles to your game, you will improve and find yourself beating teams that were accustomed to beating you. And won't that be fun!

About the Author
Mark Tanner didn't start playing beach volleygall until he was 31. He earned a AAA rating at 35 and has remained a competitive player well into his 40's (47 to be exact!). Tanner, the older brother of Olympic gold medalist Troy Tanner, has attributed his success to his emphasis on strategy. The Northern California based-attorney has shared much of that strategy in a new book entitled "Smarter Volleyball", focusing on the higher principles behind winning doubles.
