CLOTHES

Love All Tennis Visor

Retro Chic. Performance Peak

The Love All Tennis Visor is the finishing touch to your perfect court look, effortlessly balancing vintage style with modern performance. Inspired by classic tennis icons of the 1970s, our visor channels timeless elegance with a contemporary twist. Lightweight, breathable, and built for movement, it’s a must-have accessory for sunny matches, long rallies, or a coffee run after your morning game.

Made from high-performance cotton twill, the visor keeps you cool and comfortable even on the hottest days. The wide brim offers UPF 50+ protection and just the right amount of structure to shield your eyes without blocking your view of the ball. The sweatband absorbs moisture while maintaining comfort during play, and the adjustable back strap ensures a secure yet gentle fit for every head shape. Like every Love All piece, the visor was designed to fit beautifully and function flawlessly, because we believe performance should never come at the expense of style.

The design reflects our brand’s signature retro aesthetic: crisp white with contrast trim in Love All’s signature red. The embroidered Love All logo brings a playful, nostalgic touch that nods to the golden age of tennis fashion — when sport met sophistication. Whether paired with your favorite Love All dress or worn with jeans and a tee, this visor embodies our court-to-café versatility and easy, polished charm.

It’s more than an accessory; it’s a statement. A celebration of the women who love the game, live the lifestyle, and appreciate the beauty of sport. Perfect for players, spectators, and everyone who believes that loving the game starts with loving how you feel on the court.

Each visor comes in eco-friendly packaging and makes an ideal gift for any tennis lover — practical, stylish, and full of personality. Add it to your holiday list or gift it to your doubles partner as a chic reminder that the best part of the game is that we Love All.

The Secrets of Spanish Tennis 2.0 By Chris Lewit

The much anticipated follow-up to Chris The Secrets of Spanish Tennis, is now here and available on Amazon.

The Secrets of Spanish 2.0 is a comprehensive update to Lewit’s initial release 10 years ago, featuring 45 Spanish tennis drills with detailed explanations that are supplemented by videos on Lewit’s YouTube channel (YouTube.com/chrislewit).

The book features forewords by legendary Spanish coaches Emilio Sanchez and Luis Bruguera, and this edition also includes a new chapter on Toni Nadal and other famous Spanish tennis coaches, a new chapter on the rise of Carlos Alcaraz, and an updated chapter detailing the top Spanish academies.

“Spain has dominated the world rankings on the ATP tour for many decades, a phenomenal accomplishment for such a small country,” says Lewit. “Spain is now positioned as the leading destination in the world for serious tennis players looking to train for the elite junior and professional tours.”

Over the course of 20 years and dozens of study trips, Lewit visited the leading Spanish academies and studied and interviewed some of the most legendary coaches in Spain to discern and distill their unique and special training methodology. Now you can learn the Spanish way of training and use it to make yourself, your kids, or your students better!

Chris Lewit is a former #1 for Cornell and pro circuit player, best-selling author, educator, and one of the top junior coaches in the United States. He is a contributing editor for TennisPlayer magazine, Long Island Tennis Magazine, New York Tennis Magazine and the author of The Tennis Technique Bible. Born and raised in New York City, he now splits his time between New York City and Manchester, Vermont. He develops players in the NYC area and also at his high performance tennis training center in Manchester, Vermont.

The book is available in paperback on Amazon and in bookstores, and makes a great gift for the tennis fan in your life this holiday season!

Game Set Life: A Conversation on Character, Grit and The Power of Sports By Jay Harris and Michael Kathrein

The newly published book Game Set Life: A Conversation on Character, Grit, and the Power of Sports gets at the heart of how we can use sports, and tennis specifically, to do just that.

Written by two long-time coaches and fathers, Jay Harris and Michael Kathrein, this book is a powerful conversation about the education embedded within athletics. Through real stories, honest reflections, and meaningful insights, you’ll discover how to use sports as a vehicle for developing character, leadership, and a strong athlete mindset.

Whether you are a parent, coach, or mentor, you’ll walk away with the tools and perspective to help kids thrive—on and off the court.

“The most important sentiment in the book is the thought that sport DOES build character,” says Harris. “We all get very wrapped up in wins and losses, and when that happens, we forget about what is actually important: the process of it all. Think of a weekend tennis tournament, where only one player finishes the weekend without losing. That means all of the other players lost at least one match. With that set up, we better all stay focused on the process, otherwise there are going to be a ton of very unhappy parents, coaches and players.”

Within the book you’ll learn how to:

→Develop character and emotional resilience in young athletes

→Help kids build a personal growth mindset and mental toughness

→Support athlete development for teens without burnout or pressure

→Shift the focus from performance to purpose—and connection

→Recognize the life lessons sports are always teaching

This book makes the ideal gift, whether you are a player, coach or parent, was the number one sports psychology book on Amazon in its first week release. The book is now available on Amazon, and many other book stores, and makes a great stocking stuffer.
