Read

Concentrates upon overcoming mental attitudes that adversely affect tennis performance, including learning to relax, effectively concentrating, and discarding bad habits.

Why I picked it up: Gallwey on the mental game of performance. Ostensibly about tennis but really about how we get in our own way. Applies well beyond sport.
