Reviews
"Groundbreaking . . . The Inner Game of Tennis is just as relevant today as it was in 1974. . . . It's the best book on tennis that I have ever read, and its profound advice applies to many other parts of life."--Bill Gates, GatesNotes ("Five of my All-Time Favorite Books") "In the history of coaching, this is a revolutionary moment. W. Timothy Gallwey discovers that performance is all about focus. The Inner Game of Tennis is not just a tennis book . . . because inner voices torture all of us--not just country-club tennis players."--Michael Lewis, author of The Big Short
