"Ian Barclay's journey from humble beginnings, building on grassroots junior tennis players' dreams, to his record of producing a Wimbledon Men's Singles title winner, over 20 Grand Slam junior title winners and over 40 national and international junior and senior title winners in two different countries puts him in a class to which others can aspire - going to the nth degree.

For me, Barkers' greatest ability was to teach me how to win points. The time he spent watching me and the other kids at tournaments was phenomenal. Many teach the kids how to hit the ball but not many teach the kids how to play the game.""

Reviews for The Ian Barclay Story: Going to the Nth Degree

"For me, Barkers' greatest ability was to teach me how to win points. The time he spent watching me and the other kids at tournaments was phenomenal. Many teach the kids how to hit the ball but not many teach the kids how to play the game."" Pat Cash Former Wimbledon Champion ""When Barkers said something, it stuck in your head. Many times it was something very simple coated with common sense.""James Trotman Former Wimbledon Junior Boys' Champion Bisham Abbey, UK ""It didn't matter who stepped onto the tennis court. Over time, Ian still got as much satisfaction working with his elite players as he did seeing half a dozen brand new baby beginners run onto the tennis court for the first time, with a smile on their face and then run off again with the same smile."" Will Coghlan Former Australian player, three-time Victorian Hard Court champion, and coach ""Barkers played a very significant role in our Davis Cup campaigns. Cashy was Australia's gun player, but could be prone to periods of volatility. Barkers could handle that side of him well, particularly just prior to Davis Cup ties when practice was intense and team selection nigh. When nerves and tension grew around the squad, Barkers provided a steady influence to all."" John Fitzgerald Australian tennis legend Player and contemporary of Pat Cash"
