The Inner Game of Tennis

some nice passages in this here and there but i knew most of what this was trying to get across already so it wasn't eye-opening or anything

also the book was a lot more focused on tennis than i anticipated for a book that's recommended so often for general learning habits, which felt a bit boring at times

This book really helps you understand, segment and prioritize the internal thoughts while playing tennis. How your consciousness keeps telling your sub consciousness to correct things if you make an error. The result? It leads to you just focusing on that one particular stroke and particular muscles, eventually hampering the shot.
It asks you to trust your sub consciousness. It tells you to learn strokes not by words but by experience and visualization.
It also provides techniques to improve focus during points and between points, as well as advice on physical techniques.

Given a sports book, felt it could be illustrative to convey better.

An incredibly unique way to look at sports, habits and execution. This is a book I should read once per year.

I didn't know anything about this when I bought it. I was hoping for more tennis insight but the self-help-ish bits were good too.
