This book is a gem for a sports enthusiast like me.

How often do you admonish yourself while playing?
Every mishit or poor judgment is accompanied by a taunt.
“I am not good enough” or “I should probably never play again” are thoughts we experience during games.

The author talks about how to deal with this negative self chatter. According to him, there are two minds, Self 1 and Self 2.

Self 1 was the name given to the conscious ego-mind which likes to tell Self 2, you and your potential, how to play. Self 1 loves to bully Self 2

It’s funny how well we do in warm-up matches instead of actual ones.
This is because Self 1 doesn’t care about these futile matches and Self 2 is allowed to play freely.

The book is more about mindfulness. Creating peace between Self 1 and Self 2 can yield the best results.
