Status Updates From The Inner Game of Tennis: T...

I love the idea of this book though I feel like I’ve grasped the main idea, I might return to this one day if I’m ever in a tough grinding era.

A suggested read for everyone

Finally reading after like six years (this book blew up during quarantine)

Very good!

Can't wait to put this into action!

also beta reading so don’t expect speed from me

True competition is identical with true cooperation. Each player tries his hardest to defeat the other, but in this use of competition it isn’t the other person we are defeating; it is simply a matter of overcoming the obstacles he presents. In true competition no person is defeated. Both players benefit by their efforts to overcome the obstacles presented by the other.

I used to think that whatever was present in that state would leave me, was ephemeral. Now I know that it is always there and it’s only I who leave. When I look at a young child I realize it is there all the time. As you grow, there is more to distract the mind, and it is harder to recognize. Thoughts and thinking come and go, but the child self, the true self, is there and will be there as long as our breath is.

As one achieves focus, the mind quiets. As the mind is kept in the present, it becomes calm. Focus means keeping the mind now and here. Relaxed concentration is the supreme art because no art can be achieved without it, while with it, much can be achieved. One cannot reach the limit of one’s potential in tennis or any endeavor without learning it.

My self 1 is judging my self 1 for being so judgmental

Very insightful when you take the heart of it.

super relatable to me so very good info

I do like the analogies to teaching a tennis lesson when it comes to how to separate the conscious mind into the ego and the doer.

my mind was quite for .5 seconds

Some parents have a hard time letting their children do something when they believe that they themselves know better how it should be done. But the trusting and loving parent lets the child perform his own actions, even to the extent of making mistakes, because he trusts the child to learn from them. —Gallwey
