I highly recommend this book for anyone hoping to improve their performance in any realm.
Reading through this book I agree with the author and the conclusions ring true while his analysis of what is important for success is observable. This book is research based and is an excellent perspective for helping students and athletes understand how to achieve a high level of performance. Success often comes down to hard work and focused practiced or what he calls deliberate practice. Many great coaches know that to raise the game of a player it can often be helpful to pick a specific skill and then break down that skill into motions or very specific elements and practice and refine those while adjusting with feedback on performance.
If you want to learn a sport like tennis then the concepts found in this book can add a very useful perspective for improving performance.
This book should be on the shelf of any coach.
