“Groundbreaking . . . [The Inner Game of Tennis is] the best book on tennis that I have ever read, and its profound advice applies to many other parts of life.”—Bill Gates, GatesNotes (“Five of my All-Time Favorite Books”)

This phenomenally successful guide has become a touchstone for hundreds of thousands of people. Not just for tennis players, or even just for athletes in general, this handbook works for anybody who wants to improve their performance in any activity, from playing music to getting ahead at work. W. Timothy Gallwey, a leading innovator in sports psychology, reveals how to:
- Focus your mind to overcome nervousness, self-doubt, and distractions

- Build skills by smart practice, then put it all together in match play
Whether you’re a beginner or a pro, Gallwey’s engaging voice, clear examples, and illuminating anecdotes will give you the tools you need to succeed.

Fantastic book on sports psychology.
Fantastic book on sports psychology. I got a lot out of this despite not being a tennis player. The book lines up well with others in the field like "thinking fast and slow" by Kahneman. #Audible1
