The Inner Game of Tennis: The Classic Guide to the Mental Side of Peak Performance by W. Timothy Gallwey

funny hopeful informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

4.0

I found this very insightful and useful. There were a couple of bizarre analogies that were throwbacks to obnoxious misogynistic popular thinking, but those few moments didn’t ruin the book. The chapter on stroke mechanics was probably the least helpful part compared to his writing about quieting our inner critic and reframing the idea of winning. I would recommend and will also keep a copy for revisiting and contemplating nuggets of wisdom.
