I’m just a stay at home mom who loves to play tennis whenever I can :-) I was taking lessons for a year, my tennis skills have improved - no doubt about it - but not the outcomes of the matches. The discrepancy between the level at which I could play during a lesson and how I played during a match was abysmal. It’s like there were two different people, one who could hit the ball confidently, enjoy every minute on the court and the other so tense, paralyzed, just able of pushing that ball tentatively. The worst of it : I hated tennis matches, the unfriendly looks of the opponents and the tension. At some point the question I asked myself was: what’s the point of taking tennis lessons if I don’t like to play actual tennis with people other than my husband and a couple of friends. I didn’t even care at that point if I could win. All I wanted is to be able to enjoy it.The book helped. It was a slow (and peaceful:-) revolution that took several months and is still ongoing.First tennis. I won 11 out of 12 matches I played during the last league. And I am still sometimes tense - but I do enjoy now going out and challenging myself. And when I feel the tension and feel that because of that my forehand (or backhand or the serve - luckily it’s never all three :-) doesn’t work well on that particular day - well, I don’t beat myself up, I give myself some slack and play with whatever I have at the moment. When my coach recently asked how my match went, my honest answer was “I won, but some of my playing would hurt your eyes”. And I’m ok with that.The author of the book also offers an online program on her website, friendly eyes (actually even two programs, called “Discover” and “Experience”). One is more sports oriented, closely related to the book and the other one is more general and teaches meditation. They are the most useful and helpful thing I did for myself in a long time. This is a wonderful follow up after the book. Of course I never met Ms Reardon in person but after reading the book and watching her videos, she strikes me as a genuinely kind person, she has that rare wonderful combination of competence, kindness, sense of humor and desire to make the world a better place. I enjoy her videos a great deal, the small annoyances of everyday life seem a little less important sometimes. With a friendlier and kinder way of going about sports - and life - I feel a slight difference in my relationship with people around me - and that is the most valuable lesson I took from Jackie. Being able to take a step back before reacting, see the good person behind the action that irritated me - and sometimes do nothing, or do things differently and in a calmer way. It’s surely a lifelong project... :-)A book really worth reading. Great online programs (donation based. Ms Reardon generously offers access to them, start and see for yourself). ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Helps you play closer to your potential *by J***B on October 29, 2020* This is a really excellent book. The principles in this book allow you to get friendly eyes and be calm not just in tennis but also in life. It helps you understand that the only person you need to impress is YOU. You do that by not focusing on the outcome i.e. win but on other goals that are within your control.Whenever I have a big match or tournament, I read some of the highlighted sections of this book and I always play much better. Looking at my doubles teammates, I had the biggest gap between my potential and my match play. Now, the delta between how I play during practice and matches has shrunk. As a bonus, I even win more matches. I thank Jackie Reardon and Hans Dekkers for this wonderful book. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ cutting edge, all persons in competitive situations should know ... *by W***R on September 30, 2017* cutting edge, all persons in competitive situations should know this.Bill Walker ## Frequently Bought Together - Mindset: a mental guide for sport - The Inner Game of Tennis: The Classic Guide to the Mental Side of Peak Performance - Mental Toughness For Young Athletes: Eight Proven 5-Minute Mindset Exercises For Kids And Teens Who Play Competitive Sports --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/36417596-mindset-a-mental-guide-for-sport-paperback-august-2-2016](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/36417596-mindset-a-mental-guide-for-sport-paperback-august-2-2016) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-14*
