The Inner Game of Tennis: The Classic Guide to the Mental Side of Peak Performance

Performers and athletes, go get this book. I've been reading it for over a year...it has been very slow because I have to stop and digest each section.

IMHO, a "must read" for music majors, and better than the Inner Game of Music for undergrads

An inspiring way to look at how we reframe our thinking and more importantly our behaviors. The book transcends tennis into the psychological depths of deep inner game which is only game worth mastering.

nice

Awesome book for understanding how we learn and for teaching to get your message across successfully....i don't play tennis!! :-)

Not the touchy-feely new-age book I feared, this book has only a few ideas, but they are critical ideas about how to achieve mental focus, and the author communicates them well. A book not just for tennis players or just athletes, but dancers, musicians, and anyone who needs to concentrate under pressure performing live in front of others.

This book is about more than tennis--it's about letting go of your fears and your inner critic and just doing.

Gave me some good ideas to just let my body do the job of hitting the ball and stop my mind from getting in the way! Can be applied to any sport.

Improved my perspective of the game.
