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

4.0

Though dry and a little wordy, a good read for anyone who competes in a sport at a high-level. I read this book as an effort to improve as a fencer, and I found its lesson useful — even though I skimmed over the tennis parts. Like sports themselves, the lessons of this book have a much broader reach. I find its instruction on managing expectations, allowing the subconscious mind to take over (Self 2) and conditioning behavior to be very helpful.
