Not sure if this is the right fit?
Consider The Inner Game of Tennis by W. Timothy Gallwey. Recommended by 12 sources.
“The Inner Game of Tennis reads like a calm coaching conversation that reframes performance as two competing mindsets: the judging self and the relaxed, attentive self. Its useful part is concise mental cues and tennis-based anecdotes that help you notice nervousness and shift focus in the moment, useful on court and in other pressure situations. Limitation: the book repeats its central premise across chapters and leans on dated, sport-specific examples, so it feels thin if you wanted exhaustive technique or modern context.”
