Great Lessons but Could Use More Depth

The audiobook offers solid advice on developing mental toughness, from staying focused under pressure to handling failure with a positive attitude. My young player found it helpful, but I wish it had gone a bit deeper into more advanced techniques, especially for competitive levels. Still, it’s a great starting point for younger or beginner players who need to work on their mindset.
