Roger Federer Decides Not To Endorse Six Sigma Tennis
IMG Senior Vice President, Tony Godsick, announced that Roger Federer will pass on the opportunity to endorse Six Sigma Tennis over IMG Bollettieri Tennis Academy in a side by side comparison.
News of this decision was not surprising considering Federer is represented by IMG, although he was not a student of the IMG Bollettieri Tennis Academy; his playing style is more reflective of the Zero-Defect Six Sigma Tennis teaching methodology.
Former Stanford Tennis USPTA Pro, USTA Official and Six Sigma Champion Steven Falk’s groundbreaking book, “Six Sigma Tennis,” which uses proven quality management principles to achieve athletic excellence, is now partnering with related products and celebrities to further promote performance perfection in Athletics, Education and Sports.
In Six Sigma Tennis, 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.
“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,” he said. ”I’ve seen fantastic results with my own students and I’ve received feedback from coaches, educators, parents and students in the United States, Canada, Germany, Spain and Switzerland also having the same success.”
Falk’s easy-to-follow methodology is drawn from his experience with applying the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standards, 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.
Steven Falk, author of “Six Sigma Tennis,” is a certified tennis professional by the U.S. Professional Tennis Association and also is a certified umpire and referee by the United States Tennis Association. He is a former tennis coach for Stanford Tennis where he applied ISO standards, Six Sigma methodologies, Total Quality Management, the Malcolm Baldrige Award Program and Lockheed Martin Zero Defects practices for the first time to athletics.
Falk gained his corporate experience and recognition as a Six Sigma Champion working with organizations such as Carlson Companies, Siemens, General Electric, Lockheed Martin and The Walt Disney Company. The mission statement of his organization is very simply; to analyze and solve any problem.
