Tennis offers up a very tangible view of the effects of the mind. The best tennis that resides within us happens when the mind is free and clear. When we want a desired result but without grasping too tightly. Directing focus on the task at hand, rather than the outcome yet to be, helps to free up the mind, which also helps to free up the body to do what it already knows how to do.
Tennis lets us know when we feel at our Best. Our best effort comes when we are focused, free, and have faith. Our best solidly hit strokes occur when we are able to reach this state mentally. Having faith in the act and free from fear related to our imagined self-images, we experience a different way of being.
