Okay, so I gotta tell you all about this Rick Macci book I got my hands on. You know, Rick Macci, the tennis coach guru? The guy is a legend, coached some of the biggest names in the game. So, I saw this book and I was like, “I gotta check this out.”
First off, I hit up the local bookstore to see if they had it. No luck. Then I looked it up online, you know, the usual places. Found a few different sellers, some selling it new, some used. I opted for a new copy, didn’t wanna deal with any worn-out pages or someone else’s notes. Anyway, I placed the order and waited.
Waiting Game and Finally Got It
- The wait was killing me, not gonna lie. I was so excited to get into this book.
- When it finally arrived, I tore open that package like a kid on Christmas morning. There it was, all shiny and new.
I started reading it right away. Macci, that guy can write, let me tell you. He’s got all these stories, anecdotes, you know, from his years coaching. And he’s got these sayings, like little nuggets of wisdom, scattered throughout the book. Stuff about tennis, sure, but also about life, about success, about dealing with challenges. It’s all in there.
But it’s not just Macci’s words. I found out that he teamed up with this doctor, Dr. Nivedita Uberoi Jerath, to write the book. She’s a neurologist, so she brings this whole other perspective to it. They talk about the mental game, you know, how important your mindset is, not just in tennis but in anything you do. They even touch on mental health, which I thought was really cool, really important.
Diving Deep into the Book
- Spent hours reading, couldn’t put it down.
- Took notes, highlighted passages, you know, the whole nine yards.
- Started thinking about how I could apply some of these ideas to my own life, my own work.
Honestly, this book, it’s more than just a tennis book. It’s like a guide to life, in a way. It’s about setting goals, working hard, staying focused, and believing in yourself. And it’s all told through the lens of tennis, through Macci’s experiences and the insights from Dr. Jerath. It’s pretty awesome, I gotta say.
So yeah, that’s my story about the Rick Macci book. If you’re into tennis, or just looking for some inspiration, some motivation, I definitely recommend checking it out. You won’t be disappointed, I promise.
