The philosophy

Mindset offers you a new way of thinking. It shows how you can convert impatience, tension and frustration into self-confidence and enjoyment.
The book is about tennis, but if you take tennis as a metaphor, our philosophy can also be applied to other sports and areas of life. All you need is an open mind: those who are prepared to change their way of thinking and look at things differently will be able to improve their quality of life as well as their sport.

All around us, there are signs of a movement away from the lifestyle and way of thinking that are associated with the rat race towards a more conscious way of living and thinking. Mindfulness, slowing down the pace of life and stress management are all terms that no longer sound vague or esoteric.We call the traditional mentality of judging, rationalizing and attachment to the past and the future ‘story thinking’. The new way of thinking that ‘Mindset’ advocates is governed by observing nonjudgmentally, visualizing and focusing on the here and now.We call this ‘action thinking’.

By changing your mindset, you will get the best out of yourself, and you will find yourself able to do far more than before with the same level of skill. Getting into a flow is within anyone’s reach, provided you know what to focus on. Mindset is a mental guide that teaches you to change from story thinking into action thinking. You will learn how to be in the here and now, and to conquer the interference coming from the ego. Winning from within yourself will become more important than winning from your opponent. Once you have mastered this way of thinking, you will always be able to give your best performance.
