Brent Zeller

Brent Zeller is the author of Evolutionary Education: Moving Beyond Our Competitive Compulsion, which creates a clear vision for our species’ survival and transcendence by moving away from our current competitively based education system toward an excellence based, non-competitive model. Brent has seen the competitive system “up close and personal,” having spent the first half of his life immersed in the highly competitive sport of tennis. He played tennis in high school, competed and taught it at the College of William & Mary, where he graduated with a B.S. in Geology. He has logged over 25,000 hours of teaching and coaching experience. He became convinced that introducing competition into the instructional process was detrimental to his students’ progress. In 1992, he removed all competition from his tennis program. He has been teaching his “Effortless Tennis” method for 36 years and is now applying this “effortless” method to other areas of life.
